There are three professional associations that provide genealogical accreditation in the UK and Ireland:

• the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (AGRA),
• the Association of Scottish Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (ASGRA),
• Accredited Genealogists Ireland (AGI).

There are numerous other organisations that researchers can join, such as the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) and the Society of Genealogists (SoG), but no expertise is required for membership.
