Dear all,
I am a member of PMI and also PMP certified since 2011, I have recently applied to be part of the local PMI chapter as well. As part of Giving Back to the community and also for PDUs reporting, I may need need to use PMBOK Guide contents which I got as part of the PMI membership.
I want to know a little bit more on how and under which conditions we can use the PMBOK Guide contents? if someone can help. Saving Changes...

As Sergio suggested, I think its better to check with PMI directly.

Like Dinah, I do not understand your question either. You can use this book without any reproduction.

Dear Rami and Daniah,
I mean, to keep the certification valid and to spread the project management knowledge with others we need to use the PMBoK guide and share the information on PMBoK guide processes, tool and techniques, methodologies through formal and informal sessions. Not exactly doing copy-paste but sharing the concepts of PMBoK.
For this do we need any permission kind of thing from PMI?

You do not need permission to share the information in the PMBOK guide. Share the information far and wide. That is what we all are doing here. Information is only powerful if you share it.
Now if you want to become a Registered Education Provider, there is a process you need to go through. I have not done this, so I am not familiar with the process. But I am sure someone else on this board can help you with it. Saving Changes...
As others have indicated, if you only wish to reference specific passages or images from the Guide in your work then you'd need to follow normal reference procedures for respecting third-party copyright or trademarks.
If you join the PMI REP (the program referenced by Dinah) you are allowed to use a fixed set of the images from the Guide as well as reference prose content from the Guide but there is a cost and application process involved.

Thanks dear Dinah, Kiron and all :) Saving Changes...
I wasn't aware that you need to join the REP to use images and content, provided you reference them appropriately, but I guess it makes sense.

Sante -
you don't need to be in the REP to use the content so long as you reference it appropriately. Access to standard images & PMBOK Guide prose is an ancillary benefit of being part of the REP.
