An Independent Consultant who wants to change Sponsors must resign and wait at least six (6) months before re-registering under a different Sponsor. Please note that an Independent Consultant is only permitted to have one account in any market. A second account that exists in parallel with the first account or that was registered less than six months after resignation is an invalid “duplicate account”. TBSAH monitors the genealogy for duplicate accounts, and deletes them. The intentional registration of a duplicate account for the purpose of evading the six-month inactivity rule also can result in termination of the original account.
