Membership Information

Any woman is eligible for NSDAR membership who is no less than eighteen years of age and can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence. She must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage and death. No chapter may discriminate against an applicant on the basis of race or creed.

For a complete list of eligible patriotic services, please see the NSDAR's Membership Requirements page.
