Self-register as a new member

This guide shows you how to create an account on a MapleGather-powered membership site so you can complete your membership application.

Who can do this: Anyone with access to the organization’s public join page. No account is needed to start.

Steps

Select the Join or Apply link on the organization’s website or a shared invite link. If you’re asked to choose a membership level, choose one and select Continue.
Enter your First name and Email address. These are required.
Add your last name, phone number, or any other fields the organization has requested (optional fields have no asterisk).
If you chose a family (household) level, the household section is already on the form — there’s nothing to expand. Add each household member’s details and Relationship; select Add household member for each extra person.
Select Create account.
If the level has a fee to pay now, you continue to payment. Otherwise an “Application received.” page appears.

You’ll know step 5 worked when you reach the payment step or the “Application received.” page.

“Select a relationship type” — if you added household members, each one needs a relationship type chosen before you can continue. Select the type from the dropdown on that person’s card.
“First name is required” or “Enter a valid email address” — check the highlighted fields and fill them in before selecting Create account again.
A verification link — if a verification page says “We can’t send verification or sign-in links from this site yet”, verification links aren’t available on your site, and there’s nothing for you to do there. Where links are available, an expired link shows “This link has expired.” with a Request a new link button, and the “Check your email” screen has a Resend button.
