Applying for ONIGE membership

1. Tell us who you are and which membership tier you are applying for.
2. Give a brief work history and education history — you can add as many entries as apply, with supporting documents for each.
3. Upload your identity document and any other required documents — a national ID card or passport is required; a few others help speed up review.
4. Review everything and submit. If your tier has an application fee, you will be asked to pay it — automatically by mobile money, or manually against a bank transfer slip.
5. The secretariat reviews your application and documents; you will be notified by email once a decision is made.

Your progress is saved automatically as you go, so a dropped connection won't lose your work — you'll get a code to continue later, from any device.
