Every year, renewing your referee certification ends around July. USSF does not announce the exact date that they will stop accepting renewals for the current year. So, if you are a referee that was certified in 2009 and wish to recertify for 2010, you will need to follow the online renewal instructions that were mailed to you on a postcard from USSF last year.

If you have misplaced your instructions from USSF, then follow these instructions immediately before the recertification is stopped:

ONLINE REFEREE RENEWAL REGISTRATION

Use any internet browser and go to this URL: www.ussoccer.info

1. Login ID: Type in the letter R (capital letter) followed by your 16 digit USSF ID number, no dashes. Password: Type in your last name.
2. You will be directed to U.S. Soccer Information Systems home page. Click on the "Referee" tab on the left.
3. Under the "Referee" tab, click on the "Referee" heading.
4. Under the "Referee" heading, click on Click here to register.
5. On the top of the screen is your biographical information. Review it. If there are any changes, click on the link below the biographical information box. A new pop-up window will appear and you can edit the data. Save your edits.
6. Next you will see the Registration Type boxes you are eligible to submit (Referee, Instructor, Assessor, Assignor, Indoor/Futsal). You may register for more than one at the same time, if you are eligible.
7. Continue down the rest of the form answering all questions if required.
8. When you are satisfied that all information is correct, read the Terms and Conditions. Check "I agree to terms and conditions" and click "Continue".
9. You will be directed to a secure credit card payment site to submit your payment using VISA or MasterCard.
10. Please print TWO (2) copies of the confirmation page.
11. You are finished. After approval from your SRA, your registration packet will be mailed to you from USSF in Chicago.

You will need your referee ID number which is printed on the renewal form and on your referee wallet card. You will also be prompted to pay the $40 renewal fee with a credit card. At the end of the process, you will have the opportunity to print a confirmation sheet that will show that you have successfully registered for 2010 and it will serve as both a receipt of payment and a temporary registration until your new wallet card and patch arrive.

When you print out a copy of your registration confirmation, please print two copies and send one copy to Ed Miles (see below). It would also be helpful if you send Ed Miles the confirmation e-mail that you will get directly from USSF after you renew online. Your copy will allow Ed to update your referee status and he can get you a reimbursement check issued from the Club Treasurer.

That is all you have to do. Please contact Ed Miles if you have any questions or need assistance.
