The application for FILA licences is increasing every year and the requested data often changes from one year to another (spelling mistakes, inversion of the name and first name, date of birth and sometimes nationality), thus causing many problems to the FILA administration.Therefore each athlete shall provide, from now on, a recent photograph as well as his/her passport when purchasing a licence at all competitions registered in the FILA Calendar. The organiser shall provide the Technical Delegate or the Refereeing Delegate with a photocopier in order to make a copy of each passport so he can return it to FILA with the blue licence books.*When purchasing a licence online, a copy of the wrestler's passport shall be sent to FILA with the usual documents (form, photo, copy of the bank transfer).Only the licence applications with a copy of the passport will be validated and accepted by FILA.*The control of the passport when applying for a licence enters in force as per today and will apply to every Championship even if the athlete already has a currently valid licence.
