Registration for PLY

Register for PLY

Adding PLY letters after Paralympian's full name.

Posting the PLY certificate on social media.

Dear Athlete,

We are excited to offer you an opportunity to register for post-nominal letters (PLY) to honour you for all your commitment, dedication and hard work towards the Paralympic Movement.

Post-nominal letters are placed after a person's name to indicate that they hold a position, honour, or is a member of a fraternity. Like with other post nominal letters e.g. PHD, PLY can be used alongside your name, on social media, cv, business cards, presentations, email signature, etc. In summary, PLY can be used anywhere you use your name.
