Idol auditions require aspiring singers to pre-register one or two days before the actual singing audition takes place. Registration days are the two days before actual audition date and is listed below for each city. People who do not register will not be allowed to audition for the casting directors.

certificate and a passport or a birth certificate and a school ID card) to obtain a wristband and a ticket if
you plan to have an opportunity to audition (please see Audition Rules for more details). After showing
proper ID, you will be given a wristband and a seat ticket (provided there are still some available for that
venue). You will be allowed to have one (1) person accompany you to the audition; however, THAT
PERSON MUST ALSO BE PRESENT WITH YOU DURING REGISTRATION SO THAT WE CAN ISSUE

will be one of the last people to register and we may run out of space or time to accommodate you.
