Upon the recommendation of the Squadron Director after 3 months, the District will review and evaluate the documents of the applicant as well as his/her attendance, and if it satisfies the requirements, will endorse for the issuance of a General Order (G.O.) to attest that the person is already a member of the PCGA.

Likewise, in lieu of the NBI clearance, they may submit similar clearances such as FBI clearance and the like as requirement for enrollment.
Re-Enrollment
Former auxiliarists who have been separated from the Auxiliary may be considered for re-enrollment provided they were not administratively disenrolled for cause. To re-enroll, a written request, in addition to the regular requirements for enrollment as provided for in paragraph 1, must be submitted to the Director Auxiliary District or Squadron. The Vice Commandant for Operations upon recommendation of the Commander Coast Guard District and the Director Auxiliary District may re-establish a former auxiliarist seeking for re-enrollment to his previous status, as appropriate.
Residency Requirements
An auxiliarist may join any auxiliary division/squadron of his choice regardless of geographic location and/or boundaries provided that he has been residing in or has business/work concerns in the geographic location and/or boundaries of the division/squadron where he is applying for membership, for not less than the past twelve (12) months. When already an auxiliarist, one must comply with the prescribed period of residency to be considered in an active status while having continuing compliance with the other membership requirements.
Note
Membership entails responsibilities as an Auxiliarist, hence, members are required to participate and contribute whenever possible in Squadron activities, meetings, projects, trainings and other efforts in support of the Philippine Coast Guard. (This is to prevent notions that applicants aspire to join PCGA for the mere sake of using its uniform, titles and appellations for personal gain.)
