| How can I pay? |
|
When you apply for your Green Card membership you will be required to submit credit card details against which your Green Card fees will be charged. In some cases, employers may offer to pay for your passport to be updated if they have provided training, in which case they will be charged directly when they update your passport.

| How can I get my photo on my Green Card? |

| Your Green Card cannot be verified and we cannot send you your Green Card and member number until we have received a photo of you. There are three ways you can provide us with your photo. In most cases an applicant will attach their photo to their application as part of the application process. However, you can also send a photo by email to photo@green-card.co.uk or you can send a photo along with your written application directly to Green Card Ltd.

Green Card will then assist you by emailing you reminders to prompt you to take the appropriate action at the right time to ensure you stay on track to achieve your personal targets.

| Are Registered Verifiers graded?
|
|
| Yes. Registered verifiers are automatically graded according to certain criteria such as length of time in operation, number of employees and tangible commitment to training and personnel development. We grade verifiers so that organisations viewing member's passports gain an objective assessment of the verifier. This means an employer can assess the validity and credibility of particular skills on the Green Card. Click here to find out more about Verifier Status Rating.
