SAR Application Fees and Annual Dues

The initial joining fee is actually a small price to pay to cover the cost of genealogical verification of your application, processing and archival costs. The one-time membership application fee opens the door to several distinct benefits that more than satisfy the value you would want to have for the cost of joining.  (Fees shown are as of September 1, 2024.)
