 | I received a completed certifying letter from MDRT. Why was it sent to me and what is it for? |
 | MDRT does not send out completed certifying letters. The letter you received was from your company. Often, the company will prepare and send certifying letters for all their agents. If you would like to apply for membership, please request an application. Attach the certifying letter you received to your completed MDRT application when returning. |

| Who should sign my certifying letter? |
| If you are paid directly by a company, your certifying letter should be signed by them. If the company pays an agency, corporation, etc., the company should sign the certifying letter in the name of the corporation. If you wish to claim production paid from a broker/dealer, the broker/dealer should complete the certifying letter indicating your personal MDRT credit paid. Note: You may not sign your own certifying letter.
If paid by an agency or broker/dealer, please complete the certifying letter worksheet.
If you are applying under the income qualification method, you must sign your certifying letter and attach documentation.
