Joining FIDE Online Arena should provide a FIDE ID (FIN) but I don't know the specifics or if that would be adequate for that tourney.
That said you should verify both with FIDE and the organizers of the tourney to be sure.
Is there a way to get FIDE ID without playing in FIDE rated events?

For the USCF (don't know about FIDE), you can register online, but you don't have to play in a tournament to register.
Yes, you can have a FIDE ID but never played in any events.
Actually you have to have a FIDE ID *before* you can enter a FIDE rated event (in practice, if you don't have one, your federation creates an ID for you before you play any games).
So ask your federation to create a FIDE ID for you. If you do not have a federation, you should talk to the federation in either the country you have citizenship in, or the country you plan to reside in long term.
if I'm in the USA what federation am I? And where do I get a fide id can someone give me a link
i was thinking of getting the fide online one where u get your fide id and its cheaper and its online where u play online chess
Is there a way to obtain FIDE id also known as FID without actually participating in FIDE rated events? I don't mean obtaining FIDE rating, just the id.
The reason why I am asking is simple: this summer I am going to Pardubice Czech Open and I would like to invite my father with me. I myself have FIDE id, but my father doesn't, and he lives in an area where FIDE rated events don't happen often so it is quite unlikely he can get FIDE id through playing in a tournament before Czech Open.
The issue is that according to the Czech Open rules foreign players must possess FIDE id to take part in their rated tournaments, so it might be so that my father won't be able to participate.
He has a national rating around 2150.
Is there a way to just get registered by FIDE and get id or something like that? Maybe through FIDE online arena? I have created an account for him on there and entered all the personal information, but it appears that to have his official online rating calculated we need to pay 25 euros fee. Not a big deal, but I am reluctant to do so without having some assurance that this will result into assigning FIDE id for him.
