How do I join Freemasonry in......?

This page began with a simple question, "How do I join Freemasonry in my country?" The page was originally open to comments and over time grew to be very popular. Unfortunately, it also became quite popular with scammers and frauds pretending to be Freemasons or agents of the Illuminati attempting to use the good intentions of the page to their own mercenary ends. Consequently, the commenting function has been closed. However, the important information required to answer the question, "How do i join Freemasonry in......?" still remains. If you have come to this page of a sincere interest in Freemasonry and the Masonic fraternity then we hope this page will prove useful to you.

Important!

Please be advised that you can not join Freemasons through this or any other Web site. Membership begins locally; you can only join in the Masonic jurisdiction in which you reside. You may request information through a Web site; you may even request someone contact you through an online form, but never, ever send anyone money without first meeting in person and verifying they are legitimate Freemasons. For a brief description of the process of joining a Masonic lodge please see our Joining Freemasons page.

Notice to member Masons: It is a breach of Masonic protocol for any member to make direct contact with a Grand Lodge other than his own unless you are physically on their territory. All communications should go through your Lodge Secretary and Grand Secretary.

Also, 

  • Masonic organizations are not active in every country. Freemasonry flourishes where freedoms exist. Some political regimes do not allow such organizations. 
  • Being a Freemason will not make you rich, powerful or famous. Freemasonry is about self improvement and being of service to your fellow man and your community. 
  • We are not the Illuminati and can not help you join the Illuminati. Should you find a comment post on this site regarding joining the Illuminati be assured it is a scam. Ignore it or report it to proper authorities.
  • Freemasonry is not a religion. Nor, is it a substitute for religion. For a more in depth explanation please see: Is Freemasonry a Religion?
  • Freemasonry consists of philosophical teachings intended to assist in living a life of honor and integrity. It is not necessary to be a Freemason in order to live your life in such a manner. 
  • For more information and a better understanding of Freemasonry see our page on Masonic Secrets as well as our page on Masonic Symbols. If you still have questions check out our Plain Truth About Freemasons page.

If you are still here and have read this far I will assume you understand what Freemasonry is and have a genuine interest in becoming a Freemason. Congratulations and welcome.

The information below is intended to assist you in locating a legitimate Masonic Grand Lodge and Lodges within your geographic area. It will then be up to you to initiate communication and pursue membership if you choose to.

The lists below are not comprehensive, but we're working on it. If you don't see what you're looking for try a Web search including the term Masonic Grand Lodge Freemasonry and add your city, county, state, province, region or country.

Good fortune and safe travels.
