It is very important that groups be registered and group information be kept updated. 

Group information is used by World Service and local service arms to direct newcomers and existing members to your group.  WSO, Districts, Areas and other service arms also use group information to keep in contact with groups about District, Area and World Service news.  Each registered group receives a complementary copy of the Service Manual each time it is updated along with highlights and information about other conference approved literature. 

The procedure for updating group information is as follows: Group members are responsible for registering and updating their group information by filling out the Group Records Form and returning it to their DR (District Representative).  The DR should then forward the information to the Area Alternate Delegate which in turn forwards the information to Area Officers, Coordinators and World Service.  It is important that the information follows this path so that Area Officers, Coordinators, public outreach and other service arms in the local Area get informed of the information change.

If you wish to register a new Al-Anon or Alateen group or want to make changes to an existing groups address, contact information, meeting schedule, etc., please fill out the Group Records Form and forward it to your District Representative. The form may be printed from the following link:
