Renewal Dues FAQ

If your club has Self-Pay enabled, you use this option in My Home. An alert at the top of the page will prompt you to renew. After clicking “Renew,” select a club and the number of renewal periods to pay for, then proceed to the checkout page.

If your club has Self-Pay disabled, submit payment directly to your club officers.

If your club has enabled Self-Pay, you can submit your own dues online. This option is available on My Home. If your club has Self-Pay disabled, members will need to submit payment directly to club officers.

Club Central and Self-Pay allow members to pay for the current membership period and up to two future periods. For example, in August, members can pay for the current April–September period, the upcoming October–March period, and the following April–September period.

Club officers can submit member dues through Club Central, by mail, or by fax (+1 303-799-7753).

To pay online as a club officer:

1. On the Membership Management page, locate the tile for the member you intend to pay for, then select “Add to Cart.”
2. Before adding any new, dual, or reinstating members to the cart, select their membership begin and end dates.
3. Once the cart is ready, click “Membership Cart” at the top of the roster
4. Review the order details and payment for accuracy, using the “Edit Cart” function to make any necessary changes.
5. If all details are in order, click “Submit Payment” to finalize the transaction.

Alternatively, club officers may email the renewing member list and any new/dual/reinstating applications to membership@toastmasters.org, then submit payment by calling +1 720-439-5050.

Officers must collect and submit renewal payments twice a year (April and October).

If a member prefers to pay their international dues directly to World Headquarters, officers may provide written authorization to membership@toastmasters.org.

When submitting a wire or ACH payment, please be aware that these funds are not applied automatically and must be manually added to your club’s account. To avoid delays, you will need to provide a valid Proof of Payment, such as a SWIFT receipt or similar documentation that confirms the transaction. For the fastest processing, include both the Proof of Payment and a complete list of members covered by the payment in a single email. Send this information to membership@toastmasters.org after the payment has been completed to ensure timely and accurate posting.

Renewal payments are due twice a year: on April 1 and October 1. To remain in good standing and keep access to Base Camp, World Headquarters must receive your dues by September 30 for the October cycle or March 31 for the April cycle. Base Camp access will be restored within 24 hours after your payment is processed.

Toastmasters International does not impose a late fee penalty.

There are no discounts for holding multiple memberships.

Club officers can access receipts online via Club Central:

1. Log in to Club Central.
2. Select “Club Financials.”
3. You’ll see a date‑ordered list of membership payments, including the submitter’s name, receipt number, truncated card number, and amount.
4. To view or print a full receipt, click the receipt number hyperlink. This page will show all members paid and provide options to print or export the data.
5. To quickly view only the list of members paid, select “Quick View.”
6. To download an Excel or CSV report, choose the year from the drop‑down menu, then select Export Excel/CSV. Your browser will download the file automatically.

Use an invoice template. When preparing your invoice, please keep the following in mind:

• Complete all required fields with the correct club and member information.
• Invoice numbers follow this format: YYYYMMDDXXXXXXXX (the last eight digits are the club number). Commas may appear but can be ignored.
• Each new member must include the $25 USD New Member Fee.
• Renewing members pay $60 USD for membership dues.
• Members joining mid‑period pay $10 USD per remaining month in the renewal cycle. For a detailed monthly breakdown, refer to the Membership Application.

A renewing member has no break in membership or attendance at club meetings but may neglect to pay dues on time. In October and April, a club officer may assist members with paying their delinquent renewal dues to return their status to good standing. This is considered a late payment and not a reinstatement.

A reinstating member is a member with a lapse in their paid membership and a break in attendance at club meetings. Beyond October and April, the member and the club may decide whether the member will pay their delinquent renewal dues or reapply to join the club.

The club roster lists all members currently active in your club. Any new members added with a future join date will appear on the roster starting on the first day of that month.

We recommend that only members in good standing serve in speaking and meeting roles. Members who have not paid dues for the current period are considered lapsed and are not recognized as club members until they return to good standing. Only members in good standing count toward quorum and are eligible to vote in club business matters.

The minimum renewal requirement is eight (8) paid members, at least three (3) of whom were members during the previous renewal period, per Policy 2.0: Club and Membership Eligibility.

Renewal dues must be paid by April 1 and October 1. To remain in good standing, a club must have eight (8) paid members, at least three (3) of whom were members during the previous renewal period.

October 1, 11:59:59 p.m. Mountain Time for the October renewal period, and April 1, 11:59:59 p.m. Mountain Time for the April renewal period.

To support ongoing club business, unpaid officers will retain access to Club Central for 30 days after becoming unpaid, unless they have been removed from their role by a majority vote of the club members.

A club must have a valid officer list on file with World Headquarters for officers to access Club Central. Please email your club officer list, composed of paid members in good standing, to membership@toastmasters.org.

Please note that if the club officers are currently unpaid, they must renew their membership before Club Central access can be restored or a new officer list can be processed.

If you have questions about the renewal process, please email the Club Quality and Member Support Team at membership@toastmasters.org, or call +1 720-439-5050.
