IRPS does not require an entrance fee, only triennial (3-year) membership dues.
Due to IRPS’s exceptionally low-cost dues, there is no one-year dues option (Council decision, October 1996).
Membership periods are aligned with calendar years to simplify annual dues notifications. New members who join before July 1 in a given year will have their membership effective from January 1 of that year. Those who join after July 1 will start their membership on January 1 of the following year.
Current members' dues anniversary date remains fixed to January.
