Questions Frequently Asked by NRA Members
Q: Why do you offer a $25 yearly membership when it costs
$35 on the NRA web site?
A: As an official NRA Recruiter, I am able to take advantage of
special promotions which can only be offered by their Official
Recruiters. The current promotion allows for recruiters to give
New Members and Current Members the ability to sign up or renew for the
low yearly rate of $25. Interested individuals should take
advantage of this special offer because it can change at any time!
Q: How do I change my
name/address/magazine/online?
A: In order to change your address online, simply go to https://www.nramemberservices.org
and use your current NRA ID number to access you membership
records. You can even make
payments online if you are currently taking advantage of the Easy Pay
Life (EPL) option to become a Life Member.
Q: I paid for my membership
and I am still getting bills. What's going on?
A: Just like any business doing mass mailings, NRA tries to do this
in as cost-effective a method as possible. NRA mails in bulk and prepare these
mailings in advance. In some cases, your payment and your next bill
will "cross" in the mail. If you have already paid for your
membership, please disregard any bills you may receive.
Q: Is a NRA Membership tax deductible?
A: Contributions, gifts, or membership dues made or paid to the
National Rifle Association of America are not refundable or
transferable and are not deductible as charitable contributions for
Federal income tax purposes.

Q: I would like to join the NRA but I don't want to submit my credit
card online. What can I do?
A: You have several options:
Q: Does NRA share my personal information or sell its membership
database?
A: NRA never sells member information to outside organizations or
vendors. It may only be accessed
by the NRA and it's agents.
Q: What is the mailing address for NRA Headquarters?
A: That address is:
NRA HQ
11250 Waples Mill Road
Fairfax, VA 22030
Q: I always get solicitations for donations from NRA. How can I reduce this type of mail?
A: As with any member based organization, NRA solicits support for
its programs. NRA understands
that members will not respond to all of the solicitations but direct
mail is a business of numbers.
However, NRA understands when members want to reduce the amount
of direct mail they receive.
Simply email the NRA at membership@nrahq.org
or dial 877-NRA-2000 and request to be placed on the "Do Not
Promote" list. This will significantly reduce the amount of mail
you receive without affecting important mailings, magazine service, or
your membership renewal.
Q: How long does it take for me to receive my NRA membership package
after I submit my application and payment?
A: It can take up to 4-6 weeks to receive your full membership
materials after your application and dues are received.
Q: I applied for membership online but I haven't heard anything.
What's going on?
A: When you submitted your online application, you should have
received a confirmation email.
If you received this email, your membership is in processing. If
you did not receive a confirmation, your application was not received
and you should reapply.
Q: I want to become an NRA Life Member but can’t afford the full
cost all at once. Can I make payments?
A: Yes. NRA has what is
known as the Easy Pay Life plan. Under this plan, members make minimum
quarterly payments of $25.00 until the full amount of $1000.00 is paid.
All you have to do to get started is check the EPL box on the
application. You can even make
your future payments online at http://www.nramemberservices.org.
Q: Who is eligible for Distinguished Membership in the NRA?
A: Distinguished Membership is available to members aged 65 or
older or to Disabled Veterans.
Q: I am a Disabled Veteran. What level/proof of disability is
required to receive that discount?
A: Distinguished Membership is extended to all Disabled Veterans of
the US Armed Forces regardless of level of disability. No proof of
disability is required.
Q: How do I get a new id card?
A: Simply email membership@nrahq.org
or call 877-NRA- 2000 and request a replacement card.
Q: What is the difference between the four NRA magazines?
A: For a complete description of our magazines, go to: http://www.nrapublications.org/
Q: How often will I receive my NRA magazine?
A: The NRA magazines are shipped eleven times per year.
Q: I want to sign up my wife but she is not interested in receiving
a magazine?
A: Sign your wife up as an Associate Member. Associate Membership has all the
benefits of Regular Membership except Associate Members do not receive
a magazine, cannot participate in NRA elections, and cannot hold office
within the NRA. However, now
that NRA has a magazine dedicated to women, she may be interested in
receiving Women’s Outlook. She
might want to check it out.
Q: Does the NRA offer a “Family Membership?”
A: Currently the NRA does not offer Family Membership. Instead,
many spouses of members take advantage of Associate membership (at a
cost of $10.00) and Junior Memberships (at a cost of $15.00).
