We are glad to inform you that the on-line registration for congresses is now available, this new process save time, cost and make it more convenient for everyone.
All existing WDSF licensed officials can sign up to a congress themselves and do not need to go through their national member body. The congress fee must be paid by the Adjudicator/Chairperson directly when signing up. This will save you additional work in managing their registration forms and collecting the fees. We made a short tutorial video on the process of registration here: https://youtu.be/qtPG_s3eHbQ
For new applicants of a WDSF adjudicator’s/Chairperson's license or observers at a WDSF congress, the registration can only be done by the WDSF NMB. The NMB can pay for the applicant online or delegate the payment to the applicant.
