Federated Membership Card: benefits and how to issue
The membership card is the digital identity of the federated athlete of Jiu-Jitsu — practical, verifiable by QR code and valid for 1 year. See what it offers and how to issue yours.
What is the federated membership card
It's the digital identity of the BJJLF federated athlete: photo, name, belt, academy and a QR code that confirms, in seconds, that you're an active federated member. Think of it as the "ID card" of your mat life — always in your pocket, on your phone.
It's much more than a card: it works for check-in at your academy (just present the QR code at training entry), serves as proof of federation at events and competitions, and can even be printed for you to carry in your wallet and use daily, without depending on your phone.
Unlike the certificate — which is the official and permanent record of your graduation — the membership card is valid for 1 year (renewable) and was made for everyday practical use: entering training, proving your belt and showing you're part of the federation wherever you are.
What the membership card is for
Academy check-in
Present your membership card QR code at training entry to register your attendance. The academy confirms on the spot that you are an active federated student.
Proof at events
At championships and seminars, the membership card instantly proves your belt and federation status — no need for separate documents or phone calls.
Printed version
Prefer to carry in wallet? The membership card can be printed for everyday use, functioning as a physical ID card — without depending on phone.
Validation QR
The QR code leads straight to your public profile — any academy, organizer or teacher validates your status in seconds, securely.
Always with you
It's available on your athlete panel, ready to be shown anywhere — on your phone or printed, you choose.
Link with your academy
The membership card shows the academy where you train, reinforcing your bond with your instructor and your team within the federation.
Everyday use
Your entry on the mat
In academies using federation management, the membership card becomes the training key: you arrive, show the QR code on the totem or instructor's phone, and your check-in is recorded automatically. Simple, fast and no paperwork.
This record also feeds your attendance history, helping the instructor track your evolution and training time — data that, in the future, supports the recognition of your degrees and your next graduation.
