Full Member - $1,000
To qualify as a Full Member, a practitioner must, immediately prior to the time of application, have been engaged in the practice of Public Relations for at least three (3) consecutive years, during which time all of his/her working time must have been devoted to Public Relations, and who on applying for membership is fully engaged in the practice of Public Relations.

Visiting Member - $750
To qualify as a Visiting Member, a practitioner must be temporarily filling a post in Public Relations in Jamaica and whose tenure in the country does not allow for fulfilling the qualification of a Full or Associate Member. A visiting member has a voice but no vote at meetings of the Society.

Student Member - $500
To qualify as a Student Member, an applicant must, immediately prior to the time of application, have been engaged in the study of Public Relations and must intend to engage in the practice of Public Relations.
