This Dutch Athletics Federation membership number does not exist or does not correspond with (..)

Question

Dear recipient, I tried to register a member of our club for the VB competition at AAV Gouda on April 16, 2023, this evening. After I entered the member code and date of birth, the site filled in the name and category of the athlete in question. Then I fill in which events she wants to participate in, what her recent performances are in those events, in which startgroup I want to place her and then I click on the save button. Then I get the following error message:

Error! Not saved

This Dutch Athletics Federation membership number does not exist or does not match the name, date of birth or club you entered! You must enter a valid membership number, which also indicates that you are a competitive member of the Dutch Athletics Federation. What can I do to get our athletes registered?

Dear Mr. Ed Schenk

Answer 1

The member probably does not have a competition license.

Please contact the membership administration of the club where she is a member and request that she be granted a competition license. Please note: there are additional costs associated with this at the Dutch Athletics Federation.

Or contact the competition organization if you believe that a competition license is not necessary for this member. The competition organization can then help you further.
