Which Reform UK Membership Fits You?

The standard rate is £25 per year. Reduced rates and age categories aren’t stated here.

You can join online, by telephone or through a local branch, then manage your account through the online portal. Check the fees and eligibility rules before choosing how to join.

Key Takeaways

• The annual rates are £25 for standard, £15 for Under 25s and £20 for veterans.
• The domestic option is for UK residents aged 16 or over. Overseas options are also available.
• You can renew, update or cancel your account through the online portal, and request a physical card by emailing the team.

The available details also list local branches, events and the ReformGo app.

Compare Annual Rates

Reform UK membership costs £25 a year at the standard rate. Two concession categories offer lower prices to eligible younger people and veterans.

Here’s the side-by-side comparison.

Category	Annual fee	Who it fits
Standard	£25	Eligible applicants who don’t use a concession category
Under 25	£15	People aged 16 to 24
Veteran	£20	People who have served in the UK Armed Forces

Choose according to eligibility. These categories don’t represent different levels of involvement.

Under 25 membership: ages 16 to 24

The £15 annual rate applies to people aged 16 to 24, inclusive. That’s £10 less than the standard rate.

This is an age-based category, not a student rate. Being at university isn’t a qualifying condition, and people aged 25 or older fall outside the stated age range.

Veteran membership: previous UK Armed Forces service

The annual rate is £20 for people who have served in the UK Armed Forces. That’s £5 less than the standard rate.

The qualifying distinction is your service history. Supporting the Armed Forces or having a relative who served isn’t the same as having served yourself.

The veteran category offers a reduced subscription for eligible people. It isn’t a separate route to becoming a candidate or taking on a party role.

Who Can Join?

Applicants using the domestic route must be at least 16 years old and resident in the UK. The Under 25 category therefore starts at 16, rather than covering everyone below 25.

People living abroad can apply through overseas membership. This route is separate from the categories for UK residents. The official information doesn’t state any further eligibility requirements for overseas applicants.

Keep eligibility for joining separate from voting eligibility. Joining Reform UK doesn’t register you to vote in council, parliamentary or other public elections.

Paying a subscription doesn’t make you an election candidate. Joining, volunteering and candidate selection are different forms of involvement, though applicants may take an interest in all three.

How to Join Reform UK

There are three ways to arrange Reform UK membership: online, by telephone or through a local branch. Each lets you start without relying on social media messages or unofficial payment requests.

Join online through the membership portal

Start from our official Reform UK website and follow the online route.

The process follows these basic steps:

1. Choose the category that matches your eligibility.
2. Enter your personal and contact details accurately.
3. Complete the payment process and keep your confirmation.

Use an email address you can access. You’ll need it to access your account, receive correspondence and resolve questions about your record.

Keep your confirmation somewhere accessible, rather than relying solely on a physical card.

Join by telephone or through your branch

You can join by calling 0800 414 8525, or in person through a local party branch.

The telephone route is also available for arranging non-recurring payments. A local branch gives you an in-person option and an introduction to activity in your area.

For local involvement, our information on joining Reform UK in Durham connects joining with the branch and local campaigning.

What Members Can Access

Membership connects you with the party nationally and locally. Published details list access to local branches, member-only conferences and ReformGo.

Local branches, conferences and meetups

Members are listed as having access to local branches and member-only conferences. The published details don’t specify whether rallies and meetups are included or available in every area. Branch activity can offer opportunities to meet other members, hear updates and discuss local issues.

Our guide to what branch meetings involve describes the local side of participation.

Access to member-only conferences doesn’t mean every event ticket is included in your annual subscription. Membership and individual event bookings are separate, and the published details don’t confirm whether tickets are included.

ReformGo app on your phone

The ReformGo app brings membership details and party activity together in one app. Its published features include a digital membership card, notifications, achievements, events and digital tickets.

The ReformGo app also provides access to exclusive social media content. Its digital card gives you another way to carry membership information without relying entirely on a physical card.

Reform Daily is a separate, free email service. It delivers policy, campaign, press and video updates each morning, with the option to unsubscribe at any time.

Cards, Payments and Managing Your Account

The online portal handles ongoing account administration. The membership team also handles physical cards, card numbers and non-recurring payment arrangements.

Ordering a card or recovering your number

To order a membership card, email membership@reformparty.uk with your full name and postal address. Use the same process to request a replacement for a lost card.

If your card hasn’t arrived, contact that address with the same identifying information. The published guidance doesn’t give a delivery timeframe.

Your membership number appears on your membership card. If you’ve lost the card and can’t find the number elsewhere, the team can confirm your membership number by email using your full name and address.

Renewing, updating or cancelling

Log into the online portal to renew, update or cancel your details. Keeping your address and contact details current helps prevent correspondence going to an old address.

For a non-recurring payment, contact the team by telephone on 0800 414 8525. Payments by cheque can also be arranged through the team.

PayPal isn’t accepted for these payments.

Use the portal’s cancellation process when you want to cancel. Unsubscribing from an email newsletter is separate and doesn’t cancel your account.

Your Voice Within the Party

Joining Reform UK gives you routes to participate through branches, events and formal party processes. Party rules may allow you to vote on the constitution and motions.

However, joining doesn’t mean every policy, candidate or organisational decision goes to an all-party ballot. Formal voting rights depend on the process involved.

The Brexit Party was founded in 2018. The Electoral Commission approved its change of name to Reform UK on 4 January 2021.

The Electoral Commission’s record lists the Brexit Party’s registration in February 2019. The linked record of the party’s name change from the Electoral Commission distinguishes that registration from the Brexit Party’s later change to Reform UK.

For anyone considering Reform UK, the practical distinction is between joining the party and taking part in a particular decision. An annual subscription is the starting point, whilst each formal process has its own rules.

Understanding Reported Figures and Trackers

Headline figures change over time, so check their source and publication date before relying on totals for party members, MPs, councillors or councils.

You may see different membership figures elsewhere. For example, Wikipedia’s Reform UK entry gives 268,000 members as at December 2025. This dated figure may not match a later headline total.

The Reform Rising membership tracker says live data stopped being published on 27 January 2025. Its later figures are estimates from an algorithm developed by an independent anti-Reform campaigner.

Figures displayed by a membership tracker are estimates, not a live count from party records, even when the display updates continuously.

Dates, definitions and calculation methods all matter when comparing totals. Membership figures, councillor numbers and councils controlled measure different things, so don’t treat them as interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a student to qualify for the £15 rate?

No. You need to be aged 16 to 24. Eligibility is based on age, not student status.

Can I pay without setting up recurring payments?

The available guidance says one-off payments can be arranged by telephone or cheque. Call 0800 414 8525 to ask about these options. It doesn’t confirm whether PayPal is accepted, so check with the team before choosing a payment method.

Can I renew or cancel without visiting a branch?

The Membership Portal is listed for renewals, updates and cancellations, but the published guidance doesn’t confirm whether every account can use all these options. Check the portal or contact the team to manage your account.
