Choose “California: Golden Gate Garrison” as your garrison.

Make sure you have chosen a TKID number. This list has the available numbers.

Once you’ve completed and submitted the 501st New Member form, the next step is to take photos of your finished costume and prepare to send them to our Garrison Member Liaison (GML) for review.

IMPERIAL IDENTIFICATION PICTURES:
Please submit pictures of you wearing your completed costume. The pictures should be of sufficient resolution for the following angles:

1. Full length front

2. Full length back

3. Full length left side

4. Full length right side

5. Full length front with helmet off

6. Action pose

7. Close ups of any detail that may be pertinent

All these photos should be shot preferably against a neutral background. Sufficient lighting or use of flash is very important when taking photographs. Be sure to stand about 3-4 feet away from the subject and use the camera’s zoom feature for close-up photos.

IMPERIAL VISUAL DATA STANDARDS

Acceptable file types: PNG or JPG. Please keep individual file sizes in the 1-2MB range.

You’re ready for STEP 3!

Are you ready to send your imperial identification photos to the GML?

Use the Costume Upload tool.

It may take up to 2 weeks to review and process your application.

If you have any questions or issues, please contact the GML at gml@501stggg.com

You will either hear that you’re approved or need modifications to get you approved.

In the meantime, please visit us at one of our events and come see a “troop!”
