Reinstating your membership

To reinstate your GMICE or AMICE membership you need to:

• Check that we have correct details about your academic and/or professional qualifications
• Pay the relevant fees

Please see our fees pages for details of any reinstatement fees to pay and, the current year’s subscription (payable on a pro-rata basis). You can pay by contacting Membership Services on +44 (0)20 7665 2227.

If you are entitled to a concession, please fill in the reduced subscription fee application form and send it to [email protected] or Membership Services Department, ICE, One Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA.

If you were a Graduate member on a training agreement and also want to reinstate that, please email your request to [email protected] once your GMICE has been reinstated.

If you were a professionally qualified member (MICE or EngTech/IEng/CEng MICE or CEnv MICE), what you need to do to re-join depends on how long it has been since your membership ended.

Your membership is deemed to have ended on 01 January of the first year that your subscriptions were not paid.
