Advertising Rules:
After you register, you are free to post topics and replies to other forum members. However, if you advertise yourself in any manner (such as posting your telephone number and business name) then you must either be a union member of IPIU or you must first email Business Support at
business@ipiu.org your company information. If a problem arises later between a business and a client, we need to have the company information available to us to help resolve the conflict.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You MUST have an Email Address to Proceed:
After you register, your password will only be activated if you have a valid email address. Make sure your email address is NOT shared by anyone else outside of your immediate family. If you wish to obtain a FREE email address, FIRST go to
www.yahoo.com and sign up for your own personal email that we will use to send your password to. Then return to this registration page later to complete your application for a free User Name and password.

FIRST & LAST NAME REQUIRED:
Because most website forum members are also private investigator members of the International Private Investigators Union, we required you to register using your legal name as it may appear on your identification. Remember, this is a private forum website and your name will not be used for any other purposes by the Private Investigators Forum other than to allow you to participate in the discussions, topics, training, and assignments.
When choosing your free User Name, please type it as you would on your typewriter (with proper spacing and capitalization), and choose from the following User Name Examples of what to use, and what NOT to use when completing this registration page.

Ms. Stephanie Marie Randall
Ms. Stephanie M. Randall
Ms. Stephanie Randall
Ms Stephanie Randall (without period after Ms)
Ms Stephanie M. Randall
