What Is a Membership Application Form?

A membership application form is a type of document that allows clubs and organizations to gather information about their prospective members. The application form may ask for a person’s personal and contact information, work information (work experience, company details, job description), hobbies, skills, and whether they have undergone training for a certain position or job. An application form also contains legal-related questions to ensure that the member has no pending case in court or hasn’t committed any administrative or criminal offenses. 

How To Make a Membership Application Form?

Do you want to make an application form for your club, team, agency, organization, or league? We have provided some steps that you can follow if you decide to create your own form in an instant. Read further below to find out more. 

1. Choose Your Tool

Before creating your form, it is best that you pick out the materials that you need to use first. For those who need time management and still be able to go about their usual daily schedule, it would be advisable to get a template. A premade template contains preformatted and prewritten contents, so all you have to do is fill out the blanks or edit some of its contents accordingly. But, if you want to save money, you can always create your form using word processing software with basic to advanced text formatting features. 

2. Make a Layout

Next, proceed to the main task starting with the layout of your form. When making a layout, it is recommended that you divide categories into sections. Make sections for personal information, membership category, membership dues, payment terms, benefits, educational background, and other information that you may deem necessary to include in the form. Of course, do not forget to provide white spaces between the lines so that it will be easier for your applicants to read and understand the content.

3. Include Instructions

Before signing up for the membership, your applicants should know what they are expected to do. That is why you should include instructions that will serve both as a reminder of their obligations to the organization and of the protocols, house rules, or terms and conditions that they should observe and follow. In the instruction, you can also include information on penalties or sanctions for disobedience, delayed membership payments, unprofessional behavior, uninformed resignation, and many other offenses. You can use the back end of your document for this one. 

4. Include an Acknowledgment 

To make sure that the applicant understands and affirms their commitment to the organization, you need to include an acknowledgment stating their agreement. You can either make a simple statement or be more specific by including a different section where they can certify that all the facts provided by them are true and correct. 

There are many reasons why you should make a membership application form such as consistent and efficient data tracking or gathering, smoother membership process, and speed up the growth of your organization or club. To make an effective membership application form, you will need a tool that you can use at any time as well as reproduce for later use.
