New USDF Online Verification Service
|
|
|
|
USDF has announced a new, free, online membership and horse-registration
verification service for USDF members. This new Web service allows
members to search and view their current membership status as well as the
current registration status of their horses. All information in the USDF
online database is updated daily and is current as of 5 p.m. the privious
business day.
|
|
|
|
In addition to viewing membership status online, USDF members will also be
able to print an online Letter of Verification which can be used as proof
of membership at competitions until the membership card arrives from the
USDF office. This will eliminate the need to fill out membership and
registration affidavits at competitions.
|
|
|
|
USDF Senior Director of Member Services Cindy Vimont sees this as a time
saver for members as well as for the Member Services Department staff.
"Having this information on our Web site enables members to access
information quickly when they need it. A Letter of Verification printed
from the Web site can be taken to the show and presented as proof of
membership, thus decreasing time spent filling out paperwork at the show."
|
|
|
|
USDF Director of Competitions Sally Davenport added, "This new service
will allow competitors to check their current membership and horse-
registration status prior to the competition in order to determine
their eligibility for USDF awards programs."
|
|
|
|
This new service has been developed with input from show secretaries,
technical delegates, competition management, active competitors, USDF
Executive Board members, and third-party software vendors.
|
|
|
|
"USDF is working with third-party software vendors to make this system
compatible with their own systems, enabling them to be able to access
USDF membership information in their own systems. We are hopeful that
this cooperative effort will also allow competition management to work
more efficiently in determining USDF membership and horse registration
at the time of the show", said William Adams, USDF director of
information technology.
