Renewing or updating your membership?
You can renew your membership and update your contact details and branch affiliations using our self-service app. If this is the first time you have used our new system, launched in December 2021, you won’t be able to log in straight away. You’ll need to register as a new user and get your email verified first to ensure you are the authorised user for that membership account. But don’t worry – it should just take a few clicks.
