Do I need to bring ID?
Yes, everyone must bring government-issued photo ID, even if you are buying a membership at the door. ID must be valid (not expired).
Examples of acceptable forms of identification:
- State-issued driver license
- State-issued driver permit
- State-issued identification card
- Military ID
- Passport
For attendees age 13 to 17 only, if one of the above forms of ID is not available, then school ID from the current or previous school year is acceptable. If school ID is not available, then the attendee's parent or legal guardian must be present during check-in.
If acceptable ID is not presented, you will not be able to enter the convention.
Is parent permission required to attend?
Yes, for all members under age 18.
Do parents need to attend with their children?
Yes, but only for members under age 13. For these attendees, parents or legal guardians must remain with their children at all times, and the parent or guardian must be a paid member as well.
How does parent permission work?
- Download the parent permission and release form – blank version for handwriting, or fillable version for typing your information.
- The parent or legal guardian signs the form.
- The attendee brings it with them to the convention when registering or checking in. If the attendee is age 13 or over, the parent does not need to attend.
Please do not mail or email the form before the event, even if you register by mail.

Can I pre-register by mail instead of online?
Please contact us at registration@kumoricon.org if you would like to register by mail.
Do you mail badges?
No. All badges are picked up in person. Pre-registered members have a separate, shorter line than at-the-door registration.
Do you offer group discounts?
We offer group discounts to qualifying, nonprofit educational youth groups! For full information and to apply, please visit our Educational Group Discounted Membership page. Please note that this discount is only offered by application prior to the program deadline, and is not available at the door.
Do you offer military discounts?
We offer a $15 discount off the full weekend, age-13-and-up membership price, for at-the-door registrations only. The discount applies to anyone with valid military ID or family military ID at time of registration. This cannot be combined with other discounts.
Which names are displayed on my badge?
As of Kumoricon 2024, we will no longer be displaying names of any kind on attendee badges to better facilitate registration line wait times.
If names are no longer being printed on badges, why is it necessary to provide one?
We ask for the name on your ID to verify identity when you come to pick up your badge, and preferred name to know how to properly address you during the pick-up process.
I have a birthday before the convention. How much do I pay to pre-register?
Your membership cost is based on your age on November 7, 2024.
My birthday is during the convention. How does that work?
If you turn 13 or 18 during the convention, then starting on the day of your birthday, you may visit Registration to swap out your badge for the upgraded type, at no cost.
I haven't been to an anime convention before. What is it like?
No problem! Read our convention checklist.
