Level II and III officials must complete and
pass a rules test and attend a specific number of clinics.
There is no charge to attend the clinics, however, the
referees are responsible for travel and lodging. Levels
are determined by the participant’s age group,
class of boxers and ability.
Upgrading
to the professional level: To obtain
a license as a professional judge, referee or timekeeper
you must complete the application, submit it along with
two passport size 2" X 2 1/2" photographs, and the additional
requirements listed below to the Commission office,
when your license is approved by the commission you
will be asked to remit the license fee.
Contact
your State Athletic Commission
It is very important to understand just because you
submit all the requirements you are not guaranteed a
license. The commission votes to license additional
officials when they feel there is a need for more.

Judge: $50.00
Referee: $75.00
