How to Renew a Lapsed NFPA Membership

The steps below allow an NFPA member, with any membership level, to renew their membership.

Note: these steps are performed by the member.  There is a different process for NFPA staff to renew a lapsed member.  If you need assistance, please contact NFPA at 800-557-5238 or info@nfpaonline.org.
