With ILP, you can't show in AKC conformation, but you can show in other AKC classes such as agility, obedience, etc...
The application is available on the AKC website and is under the ILP heading. It requires you to answer several basic questions, including why you believe your dog is purebred. It also requires that you send two pictures: one of the head, and one full side shot.

ILP Registration also requires the dog registered to be spayed or neutered
