• Your email address will be sent a confirmation message once this request is submitted. You must respond by clicking on the confirmation link provided by the the email. Also, your password will be emailed to you when your account is created, along with login information.

• About your full name: The name on your driver's license or other government-issued identification card. First name (given name) and last name (family name). Use normal capitalization, punctuation, and spaces, e.g., John A. Doe. You may use middle names and initials if you wish. *No pseudonyms: if you want to apply for a pseudonym, do not use this form. Instead, send your information to mailto:register@locksmithwiki.com explaining the reasons for your request. We grant pseudonyms only for very rare and exceptional reasons.

• About biographies: Users are required to provide only a statement about their credentials and experience, preferably a few hundred words, and not fewer than 50. Rough clues as to age and location might be helpful to other users but are optional. Listing your company name, State or Province, and Country, along with a link to your company website and a description of your service area and fields of expertise is very encouraged.

• Are you under 18? Particularly if you are under 16, do not include any personal identifying information about yourself, such as your age, exactly where you live (a state or province might be OK), or what school you attend. But you should still give some general information about your credentials and experience. You must be at least 13 years old to participate.

• For further guidelines, please see User Pages.

Your biography will be set as the default content for your userpage. Try to include any credentials. Make sure you are comfortable publishing such information. Your name can be changed via your preferences.

These are additional, private notes, and will not appear on your user page.

Important!! These notes help the Administrators confirm your identity. It's much better if you use a non-free (work or school) email address above. You can change the address on file later. If you use a free email address (e.g., gmail or yahoo), you must include some other information that helps us to confirm that the email address used belongs to you (the person you named in the Real name box above). This could include a link to a credible webpage listing your (free) email address, names of persons that we can look up online to aid in confirming your identity, current members you know, etc. You could even scan and upload a copy of an ID card (but we might still need to connect your ID to your email address). You can also use this space to say anything, privately, to the Administrator who reviews your account request.

This information is helpful to us, but not required:

• Home Street Address
• Home City, State, Zip, Country
• Home Telephone Number
• Company Name
• Company Street Address
• Company City, State, Zip, Country
• Company Telephone Number
• Web Site Address
• Current Associations and your Member Numbers
• Other information that would be helpful in verifying your identity and your credentials as a locksmith or security related professional

Sending pictures of your business card, Yellow Page ad, suppliers invoice, etc. sure does help in verifying your status as a locksmith or security tradesperson. Please email something to help us verify your credentials. These additional files should be sent to mailto:register@locksmithwiki.com. If you do not send this information separately, we may request this information prior to granting you an account.

The following information is kept private and will only be used for this request.
