Mare inspection, then what?

Hypothetically, if I had my young mare inspected for breeding approval now but didn’t intend to breed her for many years, would registries require me to pay an annual fee to maintain the “results” of the inspection, or status? IOW do I need to stay a member until I breed her?

Reasons to inspect now are a) she’s young and sound and b) early in her career so more time/fewer show conflicts.

(Have asked a couple of registries but no reply)

Once approved for breeding, it stands. My registry has a half price yearly fee for those not actively breeding. In exchange, we can participate in all breed awards. It all goes on her ‘resume’.
