    No, you do not need an IBJJF membership card to compete in an IBJJF tournament as a Blue Belt. Your driver's license will be fine.

    About the ID though, you should send them an e-mail about it. I got mine in about a week. If you didn't get it yet, something either went wrong with the transaction, or they denied you for some reason. You'll want to follow up on that.

    For most Blue Belts, I don't think there are any real benefits to paying for the card.

    It is nice to have the card if you ever have to prove your rank at a tournament. You can't get the card unless you fill out a request form with a signature from a recognized Black Belt, so if you have the card, there can be more more question around your legitimacy.

    Also, I have a friend that travels often on business and likes to train wherever he goes. Some schools are cool, but some are suspicious of new comers. They question him extensively on what school he's from , and who is instructor is, and who gave him his belt, etc. When he shows his ID, many people just accept it and let him join the school for the week or two that he's in town.

    You get to Kiyap/Kiai when you do a take down or sweep and not be laughed at. Also, 10% off any Starbuck's in Brazil *if you buy your coffee while wearing a gi.*
