AIA Membership Elevation

Hi there.  I just wanted to share with you that once you become licensed you must complete a hardcopy application called the "Architect Membership Elevation Form" in order to achieve AIA status in the AIA.  I thought that by inputting my license information into my profile on the AIA website that this would be the only step necessary.  Only when I went to renew my dues did I realize they still had me as Associate AIA and that this was the only way to update your membership.  Seems a little redundant, as I said I already submitted my license number, but they require a photocopy of your state license document.  Guess I will take care of that on Monday!
