The National Patriot Registry was created for one simple purpose: to recognize Americans who still believe in the principles this country was built on and to provide a verified way of demonstrating that commitment. There are countless people across this country who stand for the flag, support the Constitution, value service, believe in civic responsibility, and genuinely care about the future of the United States. Yet there has never been a clear, standardized way to affirm that identity without tying it to politics, religion, or any outside group.

The Registry exists to fill that gap. It offers a straightforward, values-based verification process for anyone who wants to be recognized as a true American patriot. The National Patriot Registry is independently owned, self-funded, and completely unaffiliated with any other organization. There are no investors, political groups, corporate sponsors, or outside partners influencing how we operate. This independence ensures that our mission stays focused, unbiased, and true to the values we were founded on. The mission is purely to acknowledge Americans who live by our shared national principles and to give them a formal way to show it.

We built the Registry on the same foundational ideas that shaped the country in the first place: liberty, unity, responsibility, and respect for the freedoms that define the American experience. These ideals guided the creation of the Patriot Pledge, and they continue to guide how the Registry operates today. The founders of the Registry were the first to sign the Patriot Pledge and complete the verification process, our first true members after our honorary members who prominently founded our country:

George Washington – Commander of the Continental Army and first U.S. President.
Thomas Jefferson – Author of the Declaration of Independence and third President.
John Adams – Early advocate for independence and second President.
Benjamin Franklin – Diplomat, inventor, and key contributor to founding documents.
James Madison – “Father of the Constitution” and fourth President.
Alexander Hamilton – First Treasury Secretary and principal author of the Federalist Papers.
John Jay – First Chief Justice and co-author of the Federalist Papers.
Samuel Adams – Organizer of early resistance and revolutionary leader.
Patrick Henry – Influential orator known for “Give me liberty, or give me death.”
Thomas Paine – Author of “Common Sense,” which fueled revolutionary support.
George Mason – Author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, influencing the Bill of Rights.
Gouverneur Morris – Principal writer of the Constitution’s final text.
Roger Sherman – Only person to sign all four key founding documents.

Everyone who becomes a verified member commits to upholding those principles, supporting our veterans and first responders, honoring the Constitution, and maintaining conduct that reflects genuine patriotism. This organization was built for people who still believe in those principles and want a way to proudly carry proof of that commitment. If that describes you, you’re in the right place.
