how to get a fide rating?

I'm glad you get plenty of FIDE events in your particular area. Some people don't and it has a lot do with how popular chess is in general. The closest FIDE events I get access to are 140 miles away (occassionally), followed by 150 (also occasionally) , 215 and 280 miles (these two are more often). That situation is not uncommon in the US.

I run events and in order to become a Senior level TD and be able to run normal FIDE rated events (no norms possible) then I have to get additional experience, including running larger events and my area does not pull those numbers. Even when I get that experience and pass the test, I'm unlikely to run FIDE rated events unless I can get about 1/3 of the entrants with established FIDE ratings. The cost is significant enough when there are no real margins (between site costs, advertisements and prizes).

I'm not complaining about this, just stating facts. As to FIDE not recognizing national ratings, I wasn't aware they do that now.

If you play in a FIDE rated event/section, you will get a FIDE ID, since every player in a submitted report to FIDE has to have one. However, if you do not face at least 5 players with established FIDE ratings and get at least 1/2 a point, then you won't get a FIDE rating. Once you have played at least 5  games against players with established FIDE ratings, in a 26 month period, and have scored at least 1/2 a point in those games, you will get a rating.

Yes, the minimum of the 5 games have to be against players with a established FIDE rating. That means they will already have FIDE IDs. 

It is likely if your area has enough FIDE rated players or pulls enough. You may not face enough in the event so it may take a few events to get the 5 games though.

You have 26 months to get 5 games against players with established FIDE ratings. You could potentially get all those in your first event. If you do and score at least 1/2 a point then you will be rated when they do their official publication. Or if you don't meet the requirements in that first tourney, you have up to 26 months to get all 5 games in against players with established FIDE ratings.

I really don't know how long it takes to post but the last event I played was on 9/3-9/4/2016 and was submitted to the USCF on 9/8 and FIDE on 9/21.

No, I apparently haven't faced enough players that had established FIDE ratings at the time I played them, as I mentioned in other posts.

St. Louis has them but mostly in the Open sections. It's a little over 4 hours away and while I could play in the Open, that would be one long trip to lose most of my games 

But I just looked at the FIDE archive and there aren't that many really,  that regular players can play in.

where to find rated tournaments

Hi

I am going to play a rating tournament this month...It's my 1st rating tournament..

Can any one help me ?

The tournament is of 9 rounds ...How many should I win to achieve rating ??

Plzz help !!

Also, you have to play at least 5 rated players in 6 months (probably incorrect).

To be fair, I'm not 100% sure that there is a time requirement.

Plzzz help guys !! 

Actually I am confused....I asked many people and everyone are saying different things !!

Try reading the official fide handbook.

Thnxx buddy !! But I am still confused 😅😭😭

You must get at least a draw against 5 rated opponents and have a performance rating above 1000.

The rating is calculated using all his results as if they were played in one tournament (it is not published until he has played at least 5 games) by using all the rating data available.

I don't know if a time period was specified, so that's all I found.

Ohk buddy !! Got it.....thnx for ur help guys !!
