ASI membership costs £115 annually, renewable every April. There is a £25 processing fee for those that apply using the hard-copy* ASI application form.

As the online ASI application form is specially pre-filled, the SII does not charge the £25 processing fee to those that apply via this route.

*Please note that for candidates applying based on non-SII qualifications, a copy of the relevant pass certificate is required with the application form.
