The card can be issued to any pilot holding a national hang gliding and/or paragliding licence.
The card is valid only together with a current national licence or rating card. It is therefore not necessary to renew the card except when a change in the pilot's national licence invalidates the IPPI card. If a pilot for example receives a higher national ranking which corresponds to a higher stage in the SAFE PRO or PARA PRO system a new card should be issued.
