If you don't receive an email registration confirmation, it may be because some email spam filters may block confirmation emails from getting to you. There are few ways to confirm your registration details:

• Log into your profile. Hover over the My Profile tab. Click Invoices. You should see all your paid and unpaid invoices here. Click on the most recent invoice number to look at the invoice.
