عضو مُسجَّل
Explanation:
The literal meaning is (عضور حامل لبطاقة العضوية) as the previous answer stated. In such a context, however, it's more Arabic to say (عضو مُُسجَّل) which means (A registered member).

Explanation:
Nabil Baradey's answer is perfect if the intention is to make a factual, non-judgmental statement.

If, on the other hand, the intent is to point out somebody's wholehearted affiliation with a certain organization or a certain ideology, using an emphatic, if humorous, turn of phrase, as in "he is a card-carrying feminist," where no literal card in a wallet is intended, then it may be acceptable to use a slang expression such BI-NIMRA WA ISTIMARA.
