How to Fill out the Toastmaster Membership Application
Every member, not just club officers, should be 
aware of how to fill out the Toastmaster application.
Everyone should know how to add new members to your 
club by knowing how to process new member applications. Use only one method of submission — mail, fax or online — to avoid duplication.
  - Obtain the applications by downloading and printing 
from www.toastmasters.org. 
  - Our Club Number is 1957
 
  - Our district is District 8.
 
  - To determine the Membership Type, ask the person 
if he/she has ever been a Member? If no, mark New. If yes and was 
a member of your club, determine if the person has taken a break 
for over 6 months – past the last renewal period (Reinstated) or 
within the last 6 months of renewal period (Renewing).If the person is already a member of one or more clubs and wants 
to join your club, mark Dual. If the person is currently a member 
of another club and wants to transfer his dues from this club to 
yours, mark Transfer. 
  - If the person joining was previously a member of your club, 
you can look up the number through the Club Business section of Toastmasters.org. 
  - Have the person fill out as much information 
as possible to avoid holding up the application. For the New Member 
Sponsor, ask the person who recruited the person and encouraged 
him to join. You want to credit the individual as the Sponsor. 
  - For payment, use the following guide :
 
Club New Membership Dues – $10.00 
Member Dues – $1/month
 – Dual Members do pay the TI $36 for each club.
 – Reinstated members do not pay the the TI New Member fee or the club new member fee.

  - Ensure that the applicant and an officer sign 
the application. Vote the member into your club and record the date 
and name of the member on your official record. 
  - Collect the amount for the International fees 
and dues and your own Club fees and dues. If the applicant wants 
to pay in cash but doesn’t have enough to pay all of the fees, he 
may pay for the International fees and dues using his credit card 
by filling out the credit card information. The Club dues can be 
paid in cash. If a check is used, have the applicant write out the 
check to your club’s account. Make a copy of the check for the Treasurer’s records. The Treasurer will deposit the applicant’s check and write out a check from the club’s account and mail to Toastmasters International. 
  - For faster processing, you may go online at www.toastmasters.org under Club Business. Use the information from the hard copy application to fill out the online application. Pay by credit card or debit 
card. If you use your own credit card, get reimbursed by the Treasurer 
from the club’s account.Note: New and Renewing categories 
can be processed online. The others will need to be mailed in. When online processing is completed, the club officer will receive a email confirmation. 
Use only one method of submission — mail, fax or 
online — to avoid duplication.
