*At this time, a recommendation code and the recommender’s member ID and name are required for input.
3) Payment of the admission and annual fees

*If there are no concerns, the admission is granted and a new member can log on to the member website.

The following explains the details of the process.

1) Issue of a recommendation code by a recommender (An email is sent to the applicant)
A recommender must log on to the member website and follow the steps below. Separately, please provide your membership ID to the applicant in advance.

i) After logging on to the member website, click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. A menu will become visible. Click “Recommend someone for membership”.
ii) Click on “Send mail” button.
iii) Input the “Applicant's name” and “Applicant's e-mail address”, then click on “Confirm” button.
iv) After reviewing the content, click the “Send mail” button. An e-mail containing the recommender’s name and a recommendation code will be sent to the applicant.

Once admission is formally approved, an email will be sent to inform the new member about the completion of the admission process, and provide the official membership ID. If lack of qualification resulted in refusal of registration, the applicant will be informed and your payment will be fully refunded.

For administration processes such as payment confirmation and qualification assessment, it usually takes about a week, but incomplete registration content may result in longer processing times.
