- Obtain written permission from your former unit commander to late renew. Email permission is fine.
  - If you plan on transferring to a new squadron, you can use permission from your new unit's commander with the understanding that they will transfer you into their unit after your membership is renewed.
- Provide payment for back dues. (← Click this link to see the current dues for your wing)
  - This will include a year of payment starting from the date your membership expired. If you have any questions about how much you will need to pay, please contact membershipservices@capnhq.gov . Please include the first and last name of the member and CAP ID in your email.
