Hello everyone. I just learned that you can a FIDE ID through subsribing to FIDE Chess Arena online for 25 Euros per month. I'm wondering if I will still be able to keep my FIDE ID if I cancel my subscription, and can I register in OTB tournaments with it or only in the online Chess Arena tournaments?
Thanks for your time.
Hmm. Why don't you ask on the FIDE site?
/ I think I have read that they are completely separate systems. The FIDE arena isn't even run by FIDE.

Pretty sure you keep the ID, just that you won't be able to see that maybe if you don't keep paying.
Of course the FIDE arena is run by Fide...

No it isn't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_Online_Arena
In 2019, the Arena has been acquired and is now managed by World Chess,[5] the company that organized the World Chess Championship Matches in 2014, 2016, and 2018.
That´s not the point. Many official organisations are using private enterprises to help themselves in the daily work. Even the governs or the International Organisations.
But what is important to the chess online user is this:
-Is FIDE online Arena the official online platform to FIDE?.
-Yes.
Are their titles totally official to FIDE:
-Yes.
Are their titles used in presential tournaments?
-Yes.
Can I use my FIDE Chess Arena ID Number. which I got after paying 25 euros , Can I use this to play in classical/ standard or slow tournament events ran under FIDE ?
I am planning to travel abroad to play in major events and don’t want to be embarrassed that I cannot use it because it is only for Fide chess arena and not over -the- board tournaments.
(2) Also, I searched my name under FIDE rating, at the FIDE.com website, and I cannot find my name.
Please advise. Thanks .

Of course, the ID from FIDE arena works that way and it had to appear in the FIDE wensite ratings. What is your name? I can wrtite you in private.
As far as I know the FIDE ID is only one.
If you have one from your chess federation, you got it.
If you got one from FIDE arena you got it.
In case you register a pro account in FIDE Arena and you already have an ID over the board then you do not need another new one. They fuse both accounts.
What is truth is that being in FIDE Arena provides you a FIDE flag but not your national chess federation flag.
