NCRA 2026 membership renewals have only been open for a few weeks, but already so many of you have received your “Early Renewer” badges. Maybe it was the chance to win a $300 Amazon gift card in September (and now the chance to win a $200 gift card for renewing in October), but there’s more to NCRA membership than entering a raffle.
Whether you’re a court reporter, captioner, or legal videographer, NCRA membership gives you:
- Access to certifications that elevate your professional credibility
- Exclusive networking with colleagues nationwide through events and online groups
- Continuing education and resources in the NCRA Learning Center
- Career visibility with the NCRA PROLink directory and referral network
- Special discounts and member perks on tools, insurance, and services
An Associate membership (for scopists, transcribers, instructors, agency owners, and more) provides:
- Professional recognition through affiliation with the national organization
- Access to NCRA’s PROLink directory to connect with clients and colleagues
- Discounts on education and training in the NCRA Learning Center
- Networking with reporters, captioners, students, and mentors nationwide
- Savings on business resources, office tools, and affinity programs
Students get special benefits as well:
- Discounts on certification exams (RSR, RPR, CRC, and more)
- Free access to the NCRA Learning Center for professional development
- Networking with working reporters, captioners, and mentors
- Exclusive access to scholarships
- Recognition that sets you apart when you graduate
By renewing early, you can not only check something off your fall to-do list, but you can also keep those renewal emails out of your inbox and save paper and postage by not receiving a paper invoice in the mail.


In addition, all members who renew before the end of October will receive a graphic to proudly display on social media or as an email banner to let others know you have renewed early. It’s a small sign to show our appreciation, but we want everyone to know that our early renewing members are awesome!
Renewing is easy and available online at NCRA.org/renew or by calling 800-272-6272.
