The infosite will experience a temporary service interruption sometime between 12th April and 13th April due to server upgrades. This does NOT affect the registry; you will still be able to access your ORCID record!

Managing your Membership Information Guide

ORCID Members can maintain their membership information via the ORCID Member Portal.

Members can manage:

  • Public display information which displays on the ORCID member list
  • ORCID Membership contact information

In the future, members will be able to manage their organization name, address and trademark license information. Consortia Leads will also have the ability to manage their Consortium Members information too.
