Full membership of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) is
open to a national association representing one or more of the disciplines
of surveying (see the following FIG definition of a surveyor) and whose
members
Associations which include technician grades of membership are also
eligible for membership of the Federation.
A group of surveyors or surveying organisation, comprised of individuals
who practise the profession of surveying, which does not fulfil the criteria
for membership as a member association can be admitted to join the
Federation as an affiliate member. An affiliate may be admitted to
membership where the discipline or disciplines it represents are not already
represented within the Federation by a member association from the same
country. The admission of an affiliate should normally be a step towards the
development of an association which can eventually become a member
association.
Each category of membership provides opportunities for establishing
contact with the international surveying community and thereby assisting
with the development of indigenous academic and professional training
programmes, including CPD facilities, and the development of technical and
professional standards.
Only member associations are entitled to vote at FIG’s annual
administrative meetings. An affiliate and other members may nominate a
representative to attend as an observer. All FIG members receive copies of
FIG publications, monthly e-Newsletters and the Annual Review; and are
entitled to nominate one delegate to each of FIG’s ten technical
commissions. Participation to the Commission work is one of the most
important benefits of membership of FIG. However these benefits only come
about if those nominated as delegates participate in the work of the
commissions and publicise the results within their own countries; and FIG
has therefore published guidelines for its members and for their national
commission delegates.
As from 1 January 2019 the annual fee payable by a member association is
4.80 € per member of the association for a calendar year. Minimum fee is 20
members or 50 € per member association and maximum fee 5,500 members (24,640
€). Member associations from the poorest countries (countries listed by the
World Bank as low-income economies or lower-middle-income economies) shall
pay 2.40 € per member up to a maximum of 5,500 members in 2019.
An association wishing to apply for full membership should complete the
relevant application form and return it to the Council. Applications are
assessed first by the Council, which decides whether to recommend them for
approval by the General Assembly.
In the case of an application received from an association in a country
which already has one or more member associations, these associations shall
be informed of the application and their comments sought.
