Professional members of ASID satisfy rigorous acceptance standards. They must have a combination of accredited design education and/or full-time work experience, and pass the two-day National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) examination. Professional membership in ARIDO (Canada) or CODDI (Puerto Rico) is transferable to ASID upon proof of said membership.

Allied members practice interior design but have not yet completed the requirements for ASID professional membership. Applicants must fulfill any one of the following requirements: Four- or five-year Bachelor's degree with major in interior design or architecture, Two- or three-year degree or certificate in interior design. Transcript must indicate completion of 40 semester hours or 60 quarter hours of interior design education. Successful completion of the NCIDQ exam entitles practitioner members to advance to professional membership.

Allied membership (Education) requires active engagement as department chair or full-time instructor in a post-secondary program of interior design education at any university or accredited school of interior design that requires completion of 40 semester credit hours in interior design-related courses.

International Membership Qualified interior designers whose residence and principal place of business lie outside the boundaries of an ASID chapter are eligible.

Industry Partner members include interior design industry manufacturers and their representatives, related trade associations and market centers.
