Bring your association's credibility onto every credential you certify.
Trade associations use CraftCred to review membership, sign off on credential requests, and keep a governance record -- without building any of it themselves.
Sign off on credentials
Review association-certified credential requests in a dedicated signing queue, and issue a credential your association stands behind.
Manage your member directory
Keep a member directory, review incoming join requests, and move applicants through review before approving them into active membership.
A governance audit trail
Every officer decision -- approvals, sign-offs, membership changes -- is kept in an audit trail, so governance decisions stay traceable over time.
Officer-level access control
Association officers get governance access scoped to their own association's members and requests, not the wider platform.
How approval works
Submit one onboarding application with your association's details and governance context.
CraftCred reviews and activates the association -- a one-time review, not a recurring approval.
Your president manages officer updates, member linking, and renewal submissions directly in the app from then on.
