Frequently Asked Questions
(click or tap to expand)No. IndyFurCon has a one-badge-per-attendee policy for security reasons.
18+ of any person that wishes to attend still needs to purchase a Badge if they wish to enter any panel room and/or dealers (and events). Parents that do get their own badges can have up to 2 kids per parent (13 and under) anyone 14-17 though will still be required to purchase a minor Badge to attend the convention. We hope you understand and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Firstly: Please check the Lost and Found at the Registration Desk! Lost badges frequently turn up there. In addition, reprints are available. Please come to Registration and present your Photo ID. For security reasons, badge reprints cost $25 ($15 on Sundays). However, if you can locate your badge within 24 hours, and come to Registration with both badges, we will refund the reprint cost.
Please email registration@indyfurcon.com. We're able to easily make these changes up through July 17; beyond that point we cannot guarantee the changes. Please include your real name, badge name, and registered email address with these requests.
IndyFurCon and it's parent Indiana Anthropomorphic Arts, is a 501(c)7 organization. That means it falls under the same category as "fraternal organizations" since we felt that we really do not meet the Federal standards of a "pure public charity" or an "educational institution." Donations to IndyFurCon or Indiana Anthropomorphic Arts are not deductible from Federal taxes.
We can not accept PayPal payments due to excessive surcharges and other concerns with that service.
Please email registration@indyfurcon.com.
We suggest that you find some form of photo I.D. We can not admit anyone who is not able to show legal identification. Most states offer I.D. cards for people who do not wish to or are unable to obtain a drivers' license. If you cannot obtain a state-issued photo I.D., we will need some form of official I.D. that bears your picture (a school I.D., for example) and a second piece of identification that bears your date of birth (a birth certificate, for example). If you are in doubt, then bring as many pieces of identification as you can get your hands on.
We accept government-issued ID that bears both your picture and your date of birth. Examples are a valid driver's license, a passport, or a state-issued ID card. A school ID is not acceptable on its own. We would want some form of secondary ID to go along with it.
No. If you are an adult as of opening-ceremonies of the convention you will not need the signed Parental Consent for Minor Attendee form nor a signed Notary Form for Parental Consent for Minor Attendees form, which can be found here. If you are not an adult (18 years of age) as of that time, you will be required to have a signed Parental Consent for Minor Attendee form and a Notary Form for Parental Consent for Minor Attendees form even if you become an adult during the course of the convention.
We welcome attendees of all ages. People under 18 will, however, have to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, or have a signed Parental Consent for Minor Attendee form, which can be found here. We apologize if this is an inconvenience. You MUST have the original signed and notarized forms available at the time you pick up your badge - NO EXCEPTIONS.
At the registration desk, which will be located in the hotel lobby near the Hotel Check-In Desk.

We need current, government-issued photo ID so that we can make sure nobody other than you is trying to pick up your badge, or register in your name. The four types of ID that are usually sufficient on their own are:
- A driver's license
- A state-issued ID card
- A passport
- A military ID.
If you do not have any of the above, we still need BOTH something with your name and photo on it that will confirm your identity (such as a school ID), and something with your name and date of birth (such as a birth certificate). Email registration@indyfurcon.com if you are unsure or need assistance.
