Fencers who are not U.S. citizens — or are not eligible to represent the USA — must have a current USA
Fencing International Competitive License to participate in regional or national sanctioned tournaments.
An Access membership is permitted for non-USA citizens to compete in sanctioned local tournaments.
To obtain an International License, visit the USA Fencing website or use the online registration system
here.
If you have a current membership and need to change your country of representation from the USA to any other country, please reach out to information@usafencing.org with this request. Please note that there is a $16 difference in the membership costs between the Competitive membership ($99) and the International Competitive License ($115), so you will need to provide payment information for this difference before the membership change can be finalized.
Please be aware that USA Fencing cannot consider your International Competitive License valid until the application and dues have been processed by the USA Fencing National Office.
If one registers at a local or regional event, or submits a paper form, it is the individual’s responsibility to ensure that the application is received by the National Office.
