Officials need to register for each sport they're officiating. Registration is completed by sport and season; for example, registering for 2026-27 Girls Varsity Soccer lets you officiate an event tied to that sport, during that season.
Official registration typically requires an up-front fee, but this amount will vary heavily depending on the assignor. The assignor, your association or school[CONFIRM], sets the registration fee.
NOTE: Registration looks a little different depending on which association you're signing up with. For example, one association may require age verification to complete registration, others may not. You'll work through a series of steps, but the exact steps and their order depend on your association. If you have questions regarding any specific registration requirements, please contact the association you're registering with.

You may need to upload documents requested by the association. In this example, the association has requested the official upload a valid proof of clearance, e.g. a Fingerprint Clearance Card, CrimShield Card, State-Issued Background Check/Clearance Card, etc.
Under Questions, associations can add any question they would like you to answer. Required questions will be denoted with an asterisk (*).
Most registrations will require a fee. Once you have completed all previous steps, click Continue to Payment.
You can pay using your official wallet:
Once you click Complete Registration, you will be charged the registration fee(s).
