AWA membership is open to all American citizens and spouses of American citizens.

As an AWA member, you will have access to a wide array of social & cultural activities, as well as volunteering and fund raising opportunities. Beyond our social & philanthropic activities, AWA is also the primary support network for Americans who have recently moved to New Delhi. We currently have over 200 members, many of whom have been living in India for several years. As such, they can provide invaluable guidance, insight and tips for those newly relocated.

Whether it is to make new friends, have something to do or to find answers, all of our members would agree that AWA has been an invaluable resource in their adjustment to life in New Delhi.

Membership forms can be found here.

Please note that our calender year starts in May and ends in April of the following year.

Please print a copy of our membership form & bring it, along with your passport, 2 passport-size photographs (+1 more if you want to join the library!) and payment, to our office. As we will need to verify citizenship (yours or your spouse's) please note that you must visit the office in person; security regulations restrict us from processing applications by mail.

Kindly note that our offices tend to be exceptionally busy on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings due to Domestic Staff Registry activities. As we would like to ensure all new members receive our undivided attention, we suggest bringing your membership application during non-DSR operating hours.

For more information on regarding our office location & hours, please visit our Contact Us page.
