At today’s Georgia Athletic & Entertainment Commission meeting, it was decided that all boxers and MMA fighters (both pro and amateur mma fighters) should come to the Saturday, April 3 Combat Sports EXPO at the Renaissance Waverly (corner of 285 and 75, attached to Cobb Galleria) to obtain their Federal ID cards.
If you choose not to get your Federal ID card at the EXPO, then you will be forced to drive to Andy Foster’s office downtown, pay for parking and make an appointment with him to get this done. Obviously, the much easier choice is to attend the Saturday, April 3 Combat Sports EXPO between the hours of 11 am and 7 pm to get this done with free parking!
The Federal ID cards have been around for years with boxing, but this is the first time that MMA fighters will need to get a card. The cards last four years and cost $25. Payments can be made by cash, check or money order to the Georgia Athletic Commission. All pro boxers and both pro and amateur MMA fighters are required to have a Federal ID card.

If I’m a South Carolina resident but was wanting to fight in Augusta GA(I fight out of Augusta GA also) and Atlanta, would I need or be able to get my federal ID from or in Georgia? Or what steps do I need to take? Thanks so much in advance guys.
Yes, you need to get your Georgia Fed ID card. You can get it at the EXPO.
