Buy directly from US Chess

New members get their US Chess ID right away. Use that ID when you register your player for a tournament.

Already have an ID? Renew it on the same form. Don't buy a new membership, or you'll end up with two IDs.

Go to US Chess

Opens uschess.org in a new tab.

After you buy

Add the new US Chess ID to your player's profile on this site, so it's filled in every time you register.
