How To Sign Up

To apply for membership, you may either print out the necessary documents and
applications (please see below) or call us at 800-526-5832 to have them faxed
or mailed to you. You may also
contact us via e-mail to receive these applications. You will then need to
fill out the applications and return them to us with your membership fee. If
you need membership to more than one bureau--please include that in your check
amount. After receiving your applications and membership fee(s), we will
proceed with obtaining the membership number from the bureau for you (a new
member number is required for e-CBI even if your company is already a member).
Once approved, your company will receive a new member number. You will then be
billed monthly for the number of inquiries you pull. If you do not pull any
inquiries in a given month, you will not receive an invoice. It’s that simple!
