Instructions for completing your 2009 Registration if you do NOT have a credit card

Referees who are registered with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) may upgrade their registration through their State Referee Administrator provided they meet all the necessary requirements. Referees are registered for the calendar year, January 1 to December 31. Registrations must be submitted between September 1 (of the year prior to the registration period) to June 30 of the registration year.

Procedure

upgrading Referees:

• Forms must be postmarked on or before June 30 of the registration year.
• No upgrade forms will be processed between July 1 and August 30 for the current registration year.
• Upgrading referees will be considered registered when they are in compliance with all United States Soccer Federation registration rules and regulations and may be added to state assignment lists at that time.
• National Referees and National Referee Candidates must be registered by December 15 of the year prior to the certification camp.

Referees must submit the following:

• Completed USSF Registration Form.
  • Fill in the form online BEFORE printing it out. One letter per square.
    Handwritten forms will delay processing.
  • Complete as much of Step 1 as you can. If you are re-certifying, your USSF ID Number is required. If you don't know your USSF ID Number or can't locate it, leave it blank but be SURE to fill in your Social Security Number.
    • State Association = CAN (Cal-North, not Canada). Don't change it.
    • Grade = Referee Grade, not your grade in school.
    • The DISTRICT field is used to indicate which California North District you are in. If you don't know, check the map on the Directory page.
  • Place a check mark in the box in Step 2 to indicate you are requesting an upgrade AND you meet all the requirements.
  • Upgrading Referees and Assistant Referees should report the number of matches done in the past year in Step 3, Affiliated Game Experience For Prior Year. Write in the actual number of games done at each level. Do not use "X's" or check marks.
  • Read Step 5 and then check the appropriate box. If you have checked the "yes" box, please submit the following information with your form: description of offense, date, court, and sentence. Information is evaluated on a case by case basis in relationship to being a referee.
    If a box is not checked in Step 5, the form will be returned.
  • CLICK THE PRINT BUTTON TO PRINT THE FORM.
    Print in black and white (not color). Print 3 copies of the form. Keep 1 for your records.
  • Sign and date your form on the signature line provided. Your signature attests that all information contained on the form is true and correct. Misrepresentation or falsification of facts are reason for possible dismissal. Unsigned forms will be returned.
• Check payable to "CNRA" in the appropriate amount.
• Photocopies of physical fitness and written test results are required.
• Photocopies of certificates from clinics attended are required.
• Photocopies of Feedback to Official Assessment Report are required.
• List of games officiated during the previous registration year are required.

All materials must be mailed together to:

CNRA
PO Box 7416
Fremont, CA 94537-7416

Incomplete packages cannot be processed and will delay your registration. Failure to include all required items in order to maintain your referee grade may result in the downgrading of your referee license.
