How to sign up for the ITF Pro Circuit
Following are instructions on how to sign up for the ITF Pro Circuit, Juniors Circuit, Seniors Circuit and Wheelchair Tennis Circuit along with how to enter the ITF Tour Events. Any players who register or renew their IPIN membership for the Pro Circuit will also have access to the Junior and Senior Circuit sections providing they meet the age eligibility requirements.
1. Obtain IPIN Membership
An IPIN is an International Player Identification Number. All players competing on the Pro Circuit, Juniors Circuit, Seniors Circuit and Wheelchair Tennis Tour require an IPIN membership.
You can obtain an IPIN by selecting the following link and then choose your language… https://ipin.itftennis.com/
Select the “Click here to register for your IPIN membership now!” link.
You are then asked to enter your email address to register.
Once submitted you will receive a confirmation email from the ITF that your request for an IPIN has been received.
Within 24 hours you will receive a link to fully register.
After selecting the link, you will then be asked to fill out your security details such as choose a password and secret question followed by filling out your personal details.
Depending on your age you will then be asked what category circuit you would like to register for.
The fees are as follows:
$60 for ITF Pro Circuit
$35 for ITF Juniors Circuit
$20 for ITF Seniors Circuit
$20 for ITF Wheelchair Circuit
As I was 36 when signing up I was given the option of the ITF Pro Circuit or ITF Seniors Circuit or both. The fee was $60 for both.
Your membership of the ITF Pro Circuit online service is valid from the date of registration or renewal until 31st December of the same year.
After submitting your category, you are asked to confirm your details and also confirm you have read the terms and conditions. You then pay on the WorldPay website.
You will receive payment and registration confirmation emails from the ITF with a link to login to the IPIN website https://ipin.itftennis.com/
You can also then view your profile on the ITF Tennis website.

2. Complete the Tennis Integrity Protection Programme
Before you sign up for a tournament, you are then asked to complete the Tennis Integrity Protection Programme which is mandatory.
The Tennis Integrity Protection Programme is an interactive online video Question & Answer system conceived by the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU). It is designed to quickly familiarise players both with tennis’s anti-corruption rules and the tactics typically employed by would-be corruptors. It may take up to 6 hours for the Tennis Integrity Protection Programme to process your completion and allow normal navigation on the PlayerZone/IPIN.
