Self-Certification Fee Schedule

To cover the ongoing costs of operating the certification program, a fee is required for certifications to conformance profiles of OpenID specifications. We keep our fees are intentionally low to encourage participation.

Please note that this fee schedule is designed to assist in understanding the associated fees for OpenID Certification by members and non-members. This Fee Schedule is subject to change at any time by the OpenID Foundation.

Open source implementations may be eligible for a fee waiver according to the open source project certification policy, found here.

Fee Schedule for Certifying to Production Conformance Profiles

While a conformance profile is still in the pilot phase, certification to it is open only to OpenID Foundation members. The entity making the certification request must be an OpenID Foundation member, whether it be an organization or an individual. No fee is required for certifications to these profiles, since they are still in the pilot phase, during which we are “testing the tests”. Like certification to production conformance profiles, payment will be required for new certifications to those profiles once the pilot phase has been completed and the profiles reach general availability.
