You’ve thought about becoming a boxing official and need a place to get started.

To become an amateur boxing referee you must:

Have a desire for the sport of boxing.

Be a member of United States Amateur Boxing (USAB), National Golden Gloves Officials of America (NGGOA) and USA Boxing. At the USAB level you will be considered a non-athlete. That status is only for those who want to referee or coach amateur boxing.


Referees are required to attend a specified number of clinics determined by the level you work. Referees start out in a gymnasium practicing skills before attending actual matches. Level I officials work with 8-12-year-old boxers. New officials are encouraged to study the rulebook and pass a rules test. Amateur boxing referees work on a volunteer basis only and are not paid.

• White shirt
• Black slacks
• Black bow tie
• Black athletic shoes

National Golden Gloves Officials of America membership is $10 and includes continued recommendations for improvement, a newsletter, certificate and patch. U.S. Boxing membership includes insurance and a rulebook.

Level II and III officials must complete and pass a rules test and attend a specific number of clinics. There is no charge to attend the clinics, however, the referees are responsible for travel and lodging. Levels are determined by the participant’s age group, class of boxers and ability.

Upgrading to the professional level: To obtain a license as a professional judge, referee or timekeeper you must complete the application, submit it along with two passport size 2" X 2 1/2" photographs, and the additional requirements listed below to the Commission office, when your license is approved by the commission you will be asked to remit the license fee.

Contact your State Athletic Commission

It is very important to understand just because you submit all the requirements you are not guaranteed a license. The commission votes to license additional officials when they feel there is a need for more.

Type of license fee:

Judge: $50.00
Referee: $75.00
Timekeeper: $50.00

To qualify for a license as a referee, judge or timekeeper of boxing contests, an applicant must:

• Be at least 21 years of age.
• Not have been convicted of a felony or other crime involving turpitude.
• Submit verifications from three persons of his proficiency as a referee, judge or timekeeper, whichever is appropriat.
• Except as otherwise provided in this section, successfully pass the commission's examination on chapter
467 of NRS and this chapter and successfully complete an internship as established by the commission.


In lieu of the examination and internship, the commission may accept satisfactory evidence of equivalent qualifications possessed by an applicant who:

• Is currently licensed in another state or country; or
• Formerly held a state license which lapsed in good standing.
• A person holding a current state license or who formerly held a statelicense which lapsed in good standing may be licensed by the commission without examination or internship to perform an officiating function other than that for which he is or was licensed if the commission determines that he is qualified to perform that function.
• The commission will determine when additional ring officials are needed and when licensing examination for ring officials will be conducted.

• Each license issued pursuant to this section is valid until December 31 of each year. An application for renewal must be submitted to the commission by December 1 of each year accompanied by the appropriate renewal fee.
• The commission will establish and carry out a system to grade the skills of its ring officials. The commission will notify its licensees of this system upon it establishment. The commission and its staff will consider those grades in its selection of a ring official to participate in an event and in its decision regarding whether to renew the license of such an official.

• The renewal fee (may vary by state):

1. For a judge is $50.
2. For a timekeeper is $50.
3. For a referee is $75.
