Annual and Life Membership

Membership in the Military Order of the Stars & Bars is limited to male descendants, either lineal or collateral, of the officers who served honorably in the Army, Navy and other commands of the Confederate States of America and male descendants of the elected and appointed civilian officials of the Confederate States; the national Confederate Government; and the Five Civilized Tribes which allied with the Confederacy. All members must be at least twelve years old. Ancestral documentation must accompany all applications for membership.

First year national dues are $50 and must accompany your completed application. This fee covers the national dues for the current year, plus the succeeding year. Annual renewals for national membership are $35. Your State Society and Local Chapter may also have annual dues in addition to the national dues.

National life memberships are also available. The life membership fee is determined on an age graduation scale.
For additional information on the chapter closest to you, review the State and Local links on this site or contact our National Headquarters.

National Membership Application

Membership includes a membership card, a lapel pin, and a large color certificate of membership suitable for framing.

Obtain an MOS&B Membership Application

Important Note: A complete set of the application and supporting documentation must be included in order for the application to be considered and processed. Some State Societies require an additional set which is kept by the State Society. It is a requirement that applicants wishing to join a specific chapter have an MOS&B Sponsor. Except for those joining the National At-Large Chapter, the following signatures are required before the application can be processed by IHQ: Sponsor, Chapter, State Society, and State Society Genealogist. Failure to obtain all of the required documentation can cause a delay in the approval of the application.

Incomplete applications may be returned to the remitting applicant in the event these requirements are not met.
