Welcome to the Electronic Application Process.  These instructions are designed to help you successfully complete and submit your DAR application.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Electronic Application Process can only be used for Ancestors that are already fully established with the DAR. If applying through a new ancestor (not in the Ancestor Database), ancestor with the notation Treat as New Ancestor, the lineage requires an analysis (compiling indirect evidence to show a relationship), or the service attributed to the ancestor requires a study, please use the traditional paper application available on the Members’ website.

We encourage you to open this Help page in a separate window or tab so that you can refer to it as you are completing the Electronic Application.

If you need more help at any time during the process, please contact the Membership Team at eApplications@nsdar.org .
