The FIDE Arbiters' Commission publishes the list of licensed arbiters so far.

The procedure of acquiring the license will continue. The non-licensed arbiters should contact their respective federations in order to obtain the license.

You can see the list here (updated 19-08-2017).

After FIDE Treasurer's decision, the Arbiters' names of non-service Federations will not be published, until these Federations pay their overdue FIDE arrears.

The FIDE Arbiters’ Commission intends to supply the Arbiters who will get the Arbiters’ license with identification cards that will indicate that they are licensed.

For this purpose all the Arbiters who wish to get their license are kindly requested to send to their Federation a good quality photo (250X300) to be included in the card. Each Federation with licenced Arbiters should collect and send these photos to FIDE ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
