THE CANADIAN
KENDO FEDERATION
Certificates Policy
CKF Grade Registration Fee Policy
Once
a challenger has passed a grading, that new rank must be registered by
the CKF. The fees for this registration have been called the
"certficate fee" but of course include much more than the actual menjo
issued to the member.
The fees for registering each grade are set by the board of directors and can be found elsewhere on the website. CKF Grading Info
Japanese Language Certificates
At
4dan all certificates are issued in the Japanese language and are
hand-written. If members below 4dan wish a Japanese certificate there
is an additional fee which can also be found with the grading and
registration fees on the website. CKF Grading Info
The
member's name will be written in English on this certificate. If the
challenger wishes the name to be written in Japanese an image sample of
that name MUST accompany the application to grade. If the Japanese
language sample of the name is not received with the application the
name will be written in English.
If the member wishes the name
to be written in Japanese at a later date this will be considered a
re-issued certificate and an additional fee will be charged.
If
you require help finding the correct kanji for your name, please
mention this when you apply for a certificate and we will help you.
Re-Issuing Certificates
Certificates
which are re-issued to replace one which is lost, or to change the name
on a hand-written Japanese certificate will be subject to a re-issuing
fee. This fee is currently set to $50.00 for the printed certificates
from 1kyu to 3dan and $70.00 for the hand-written Japanese
Certificate.
