International Naturist Federation

The International Naturist Federation (INF) or Federation Naturiste Internationale (FNI) is the global umbrella organisation representing official national naturist societies.

Direct membership

The rules of INF provide for direct of the INF, if there is no affiliated national naturist organisation in the country of residence.

Affiliated national organisations

The INF is made up of representative of the naturist organisations in 32 countries, with 7 more having correspondent status. See 2002-2003 World Naturist Handbook, pub International Naturist Federation INF-FNI, Sint Hubertusstraat, B-2600 Berchem(Antwerpen) ISBN 9055838330 The Agde definition. The current edition is * "Naturisme, The INF World Handbook" (2006) [http://inf-fni.org/guide.html] ISBN 90-5062-080-9] http://www.inf-fni.org/index_e.htm| INF web page ] The rules of the federation limit membership to one national society. To by-pass this rule the French and English-speaking Canadian societies formed a partnership for the purpose of participating in the INF.

Some federations have independent youth organisations which are coordinated by the INF youth commission. Its task is to organise events and promote communication and exchange between young naturists.
