ID Card applicants are also required to be enrolled in, or to have achieved a designation (ACC, MCC, ECC, ECCS) in CLIA’s Cruise Counsellor Certification Program unless you are applying as a preferred member with an ID card promotional code. CLIA reserves the right to amend the requirements to apply for an ID Card. Any requirement changes will be communicated to current cardholders and via the Travel Agent Center at www.cruising.org.

If ACC designation is not attained within the two year CLIA Certification enrollment period, CLIA ID Card privileges will be suspended for a minimum of one (1) year.

*Agents who misrepresent themselves as current CLIA cardholders, by altering an expired card or presenting a card facsimile not issued by CLIA, will have their card privileges revoked indefinitely. Engaging in such activity may also effect the card privileges of the member agency with which the agent is affiliated.

Organizations who use the CLIA ID card and other CLIA intellectual property for the purposes of membership acquisition (affiliation) or for the promotion of the affiliation and it's benefits to a potential travel seller affiliate or employee principally or exclusively for the purpose of obtaining personal discounts and benefits rather than the purpose of commercial sales of member lines’ services; or the unauthorized use of CLIA’s trademarks, name, logo or identification card will risk termination of CLIA membership.
