How can I receive an invoice to submit to my department before I send a check to join or renew?
After logging in to your online NCA account, simply proceed through the online renewal process. You will be prompted for payment at the end. Select “Bill Me,” print the invoice screen, and send the printed invoice to NCA with your payment.
Does NCA still offer paper membership forms?
NCA no longer offers paper applications for individual membership. NCA created an easy, step-by-step online process that saves members precious time. If you are unfamiliar with using the online join/renewal system, staff in the NCA Membership Department is available to help walk you through the process. If you are uncomfortable with submitting payment online, follow the renewal process and select “Bill Me” at the end. You may then print your invoice and submit payment by mail.
