General IPPA Membership Policies and Guidelines:

Anniversary Memberships

All IPPA memberships run for a period of either one (1) or two (2) calendar years, depending on the membership type. All IPPA memberships begin on the date of purchase and subsequent renewals will extend membership for one or two calendar years from the anniversary date of your first membership purchase.

Developing Country Discount

Residents of developing countries are eligible for a 50% discount on any of the IPPA membership categories. To qualify, individuals must have a primary residence address within a country recognized as “Developing” by The UN. The countries identified as developing by region on that UN page are eligible for the discount. If your country is a UN documented developing country and not on this list, please contact us with that documentation.

To receive the discount, please select the membership of your choice and enter the discount code DC-DEV COUNTRY (case-sensitive) when prompted during the checkout process.
