Becoming Accredited
To become an Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist (AIGG), an applicant must demonstrate competency in the practical skills and ethical considerations involved in IGG work by passing an exam administered by the Board. The exam will test a prospective AIGG’s understanding of core competencies, ethical and confidentiality standards, and communication skills. Additionally, applicants must agree to work under the established Professional Standards and Code of Ethics.
