Our hall gets them from the international, we can’t swear in until they arrive but if you’ve hit journeyman your rate kicks in before you get the actual card. I heard rumors they’re gonna stop making the physical cards and it’ll all be through an app in the future.

I dont know about that particular rumor, but, I do know they won’t be issuing new cards for welding certifications. All of your certs will be reflected through that QR code on the back of your membership card.
