CHNYC has an online registration system used for new membership applications, annual membership renewal and dues payment. We accept payment via credit card, PayPal, or you can mail a check. CHNYC online registration is easy and has shopping cart screens many are already familiar with. Anyone who has made an online purchase will find CHNYC online registration very similar. We offer the option to pay dues by credit card, check or PayPal to make it easy for everyone to renew their membership.

Those who provided an email address to the CHNYC Secretary in the past receive a personalized message for membership renewal. The first time you log in with your email address, you need to reset your password. Directions are provided below for first time log in. Print this message for easy referral the first time you try to log in. A helpful hint if you get lost in the screens is to click the CHNYC Online Registration logo at the upper left on any page. This takes you back to the CHNYC Online Registration home page.

The description below is for those who have no familiarity with online registration. Don't fret, it's really very easy but the comprehensive directions are harder to convey in words.
