Annual Affiliation Fees

Select the appropriate membership option below to either sign up to the website or pay your annual fee. Your payment will be confirmed by e-mail and will show on your Account page. Drop Zone operators will also be able to verify your payment and which participation category you are in.

Please read the notes below before proceeding.

  • If you are a tandem passenger or visiting the NZPIA on a Temporary Certificate, you do NOT have to pay affiliation fees.
  • Payment of the fee does NOT entitle you to jump under the NZPIA. You must also have a valid NZPIA qualification.
  • Payment of the fee does NOT renew or revalidate expired or lapsed certificates or ratings. If you have an expired or lapsed NZPIA document, see an instructor or examiner to revalidate it.
  • If you are in more than one category, e.g. a Tandem Master who is also a sport jumper, you only pay one affiliation fee (whichever is the higher one).
  • If you “upskill” mid-year, e.g. pay the recreational fee then gain a rating later, you don’t have to pay another affiliation fee for the remainder of that year. You will be upgraded to the higher fee category automatically.
  • Fees paid in September will cover participation through October of the following year.
  • Partial fees will be calculated for participants who affiliate to the NZPIA partway through the year, e.g. join in April, pay for only half a year.
