If you pre-register online you'll be sent an email confirmation of your badge(s). All badges must be picked up at the convention unless you purchased the VIP badge before June 10th, in which case your badge will be mailed to the address you provided. You have three options for picking up your badge at the convention; Print off the email confirmation of your badges and when you arrive at the convention get in the Pre-Registered line. Show the print off confirmation to the staff member and they will give you your badge. Take your mobiel device and download the email confirmation (or take a screenshot of it) and show it to the staff member at the Pre-registered table. Forgot to print off the confirmation and don't have good cell service? No problem! Bring your Goverment issued ID to confirm your identity when picking up your badge. Simply show the official staff member at the Pre-registered table your ID and they will look up your badge info. If you would like your badge mailed to you please consider getting the VIP badge! If you pre-register online before June 10th and get the VIP badge your badge will be mailed to you via USPS. You will want to stop by the VIP table when you get to the convention for your goodie bag and special perks, so don't forget!

Dokidokon is held in downtown Kalamazoo, the heart of a medium-sized metropolitan area, and we would not want anything to happen to any of our attendees. Minors are always welcome to attend the convention, but Dokidokon is an entertainment event, not a babysitting service. We encourage parents to accompany their kids when at the convention, and suggest that families take some time while in Kalamazoo to see some of the attractions in the local area (Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum, Henderson Castle, etc.). We have no way to verify identity for registration if an attendee does not have a valid, identifiable form of ID, so we require that attendees without IDs have a friend (18 or older) or parent/guardian to sign in with them.
