Membership

All AWS members receive great discounts on a variety of AWS products, but only Individual members receive a discount on Certification exams and packages containing Certification exam fees. If you are a Student or Early Career member preparing to take a certification exam, you are encouraged to upgrade to an Individual member before you register for the exam.

To join AWS as an Individual, Early Career, or Student Member, look for the “My AWS Login/Join” link on this web page. If you already have an online profile with AWS, log in using your email address and look for the Membership tab, where you can select an option and complete the application process and payment. If you do not already have an online profile with AWS, go to “My AWS Login/Join” and select the “Become a Member” option which will guide you through creating a profile and completing the membership application and payment.

To renew your AWS Individual, Early Career, or Student Membership, look for the “My AWS Login/Join” link on this web page and log in using your email address. From the Membership tab, you will see your most current information, including your current membership expiration date. Memberships become eligible for renewal 4 months before their expiration date. If your membership is eligible for renewal, you will see renewal options available to select. From here, select your renewal option, and follow the screens to complete your renewal and payment.

The most efficient method to join AWS or renew your membership is by completing the online process outlined above. If you cannot complete the process online, and you are applying for an Individual or Early Career membership, email membership@aws.org to have a PDF application emailed to you.
