MNSAR 2024-5 Costs

In July the SAR National Congress voted to increase application fees by 50%. At the national level a $100 application costs $150 as of September 1. If you submit 2 or more applications on the “Family Plan,” in which the applications all name the same patriot on the same lineage, the subsequent applications cost $75 each, an increase of $35. To this we add our state application fees as described below.

Last year the State Society voted to increase state and chapter dues by a total of $5 per year, starting October 1. We also increased application fees to $20 for new applications and $10 for supplementals.

Renewal Cost – before 1 October 2024

• National Dues: $50
• State Dues: $6
• Chapter Dues: $6
• TOTAL: $62

To meet the 1 October deadline, the payment should be by mail and postmarked by 1 October, or by PayPal and dated by 1 October.

Renewal Cost – after 1 October 2024

• National Dues: $50
• State Dues: $9
• Chapter Dues: $8
• TOTAL: $67

Supplemental Application Cost

• National Fee: $150 ($75 on Family Plan)
• State Fee: $10
• TOTAL: $160

The State Society charges a lower fee for supplementals than for new member applications, since we want to encourage members to apply for supplemental ancestors.

Family Plan pricing applies when you send a batch of 2 or more applications for relatives (sons, uncles, fathers, grandfathers) naming the same patriot and using the same lineage. The first application still costs full price.

New Member Application Cost – before 1 October 2024

• National Dues: $50

If the new member application is rejected by the genealogical staff at National, the applicant may substitute a different lineage and/or patriot and try again. If the applicant withdraws the application, all dues are supposed to be refunded. Application fees are not refunded.
