When a company's application for membership is approved, it joins the Bluetooth SIG as an Adopter level member with no annual membership fee. Companies interested in membership should review and understand the obligations of the Bluetooth SIG Membership Agreements.

To complete the Bluetooth Qualification Process, your company will be required to pay a Product Qualification Fee. 

Adopter members have the option to upgrade their membership to the Associate membership level. Associate members pay an annual membership fee based on their company's yearly revenue and receive several valuable benefits, such as discounts on Product Qualification Fees, early access to Bluetooth specifications, and the ability to join working groups and influence the direction of Bluetooth technology.
