Body: <p>Member sign up
  I want a process that allows for association members to apply for membership, register and submit documentation related to their certifications .
  These then need to be assessed and approved by administrators</p>
  
  <p>Can the CiviCRM system accommodate that?</p>
  
  <p>Regards

  The type of process you are requesting is actually available through events and is called the [**Participant Approval Process**](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/events/online-event-registration/#participant-approval), but as you know, online membership sign-up is handled via contribution pages so it would indeed require customization. You may wish to reach out to several [**developers**](https://civicrm.org/partners-contributors) to obtain quotes for this work.
