How to become a member of Local 764

The Local 764 Constitution requires that those who are interested in seeking work and becoming a member of Local 764 first register with the Union.

To register with Local 764, you must be of legal age and a resident of Local 764’s geographical jurisdiction for a minimum of 18 months. Local 764’s geographical jurisdiction is a 50 mile radius around Columbus Circle in NYC.  Local 764’s jurisdiction also includes all of Long Island.

Rarely, under some special circumstances, the Local may request a waiver of the 18 months from the General Secretary Treasurer of the IATSE International.  Please note that the residency requirement itself is NEVER waived.

Local 764 holds Registration Information Sessions every Monday (except holidays) at 1 pm at the Local 764 Office at 545 West 45th Street, 2nd Floor New York NY 10036, and all are invited to attend

If you are interested in Registering with Local 764, your first step is to request the application for registration, by using the below inquiry form: (please allow 2 weeks for review of this request and response: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SUBMITTING MULTIPLE FORMS WILL DELAY YOUR RESPONSE).

Once your inquiry is submitted and processed, you will receive the Application to Register via the email on your Inquiry Form.

This Inquiry Form is not the Application. Applications will be emailed to you after review of your request. All applications must be submitted in full; incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Initiation fee                $1,000.00 (one time)
