Membership

InfraGard welcomes new applicants to join the membership and actively participate in the protection of our nation’s critical infrastructures.

InfraGard membership is maintained at the local chapter level – there is no “national” membership. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply at a local chapter meeting where chapter coordinators, leaders and members can help answer questions about InfraGard membership and the application process.

To make application processing easier, typed applications are required.

To fill out an application:

1. Open the Membership Application (NOTE: You must have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to view the downloadable files)
2. Read the application completely before filling it out
3. Print out your completed application
4. Sign and date page four (4) of the application
5. Mail your completed application to a chapter coordinator (see Chapters page for contact information)
   NOTE: Handwritten applications and PO Boxes will not be accepted.

Finally, before you fill out your application, please read the InfraGard Code of Ethics and browse the other Policies and Procedures. As a member of InfraGard, you will be expected to abide by these guidelines.

Once submitted, your application will be processed as quickly as possible, and you will be notified of your InfraGard membership status. While your application is being processed, you are encouraged to attend open chapter meetings.

Applicant Vetting

InfraGard is an organization dedicated to the protection of the United States and the American people. In order to maintain a level of trust within the membership, all applicants undergo a background check performed by the FBI. For this reason InfraGard membership is currently limited to United States citizens. Applications are then screened according to a defined criteria and then passed to the local chapter for final acceptance (individual chapters may have more strict criteria).

The following United States Government-issued Security Clearances are Qualified Substitutes for the records check required for InfraGard Membership:

• Confidential
• Secret
• Top Secret

An InfraGard Applicant/Member may submit evidence of their possession of one of the above clearances to expedite the initial processing and periodic renewal of their InfraGard Membership.
