In 2373, the United Federation of Planets consisted of at least 150 member planets, spread over 8000 lightyears. (Star Trek: First Contact)

We may assume, that the admission policy of the Federation regards governments and/or planets, and not whole species.

Star Chart

File:Star-chart alpha-beta quadrant.jpg

The Federation Star chart.

In a 2364 Federation star chart, the following planets were bordered and given special signifigance. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

Whether or not these are Federation members, Federation Colonies/Planets, Surrounded by the Federation, or simply heavily explored areas is unknown.
Aldebaran III
Possibly the Aldebaran colony. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")
Alfa 177
Note that in 2266, this planet was uninhabited, and doesn't seem viable for a colony. (TOS: "The Enemy Within")
Alpha Majoris I
Homeworld to the Mellitus and a native population. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
Altair VI
Has a native population and government. (TOS: "Amok Time")
Arret
It is unknown if Arret has a population, but if it is a Federation member, then it probably does. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")
Ariannus
It is unknown if this is a Federation colony, or if it has its own native population. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")
Babel
Note that in TOS: "Journey to Babel," this was stated to be in neutral space.
Benecia
Home of the Benecia colony. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")
Berengaria VII
Probably uninhabited, contains a dragon-like species. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")
Beta Aurigae system
An unknown planet in the inhabited Beta Aurigae star system. (TOS: "Turnabout Intruder")
Beta Lyrae system
An unknown planet in the Beta Lyrae star system. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")
Beta Niobe system
Note that Beta Niobe went nova in 2269, leading one to wonder about how a Federation membership is possible in 2364. (TOS: "All Our Yesterdays")
Beta Portolan system
The planets in this system were decimated long ago, but it may be populated by a colony. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")
Camus II
Note that it was uninhabited in TOS: "Turnabout Intruder."
Canopus system
Alpha Carinae is mentioned and there are various inhabited planets in its star system, including:
Note that this is seen later on the chart, so it is separate from the other "Alpha Carinae" member.
Capella IV
Homeworld of the Capellans and the Ten Tribes. (TOS: "Friday's Child")
Since the planet was pre-industrial, the chart may have been referencing another planet in the Capella system.
Daran V
An inhabited planet. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")
Deneb system
An inhabited planet in the Deneb system of which there are four.
Delta Vega
An uninhabited planet and Federation outpost. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")
Eminiar system
An inhabited planet in the Eminiar system, of which there are two. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")
Fabrina
Homeworld of the Fabrini. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")
Note that the original Fabrina was destroyed, so this may be a reference to there colonized home.
First Federation Homeworld
Homeworld of the First Federation. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")
Gamma Canaris IV
Possibly a colony world. (TOS: "Metamorphosis")
Gamma Trianguli VI
Home of the Gamma Trianguli VI natives. (TOS: "The Apple")
They don't seem technologically advanced enough to join the Federation, so they might be a protectorate or perhaps there is a more advanced culture elsewhere in the Gamma Trianguli system.
Holberg 917G
An uninhabited planet in the Omega system. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")
Note unless an independent colony was established, it is unknown how this could be a Federation member.
Ingraham B
Possibly a colony. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")
Janus VI
Homeworld of the Horta and the Janus VI colony. (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark")
Early plans for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home were to include Horta in the Federation Council scenes.
Kling
A planet believed to be in the Klingon Empire. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")
It is very doubtful that a Klingon planet would join the Federation, as this information would be contradicted in later episodes.
Kzin
Homeworld of the Kzinti and the Kzin Patriarchy. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")
Lactra VII
Homeworld of the Lactrans. (TAS: "Eye of the Beholder")
Makus III
Probably contains a native population and government. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
Marcos XII
Possibly a Federation colony. (TOS: "And the Children Shall Lead")
Memory Alpha
An uninhabited planetoid containing the largest Federation library. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
Mudd
Inhabited by androids. (TOS: "I, Mudd")
Omega Cygni system
An inhabited planet in this system.
Omega IV
Homeworld of the Omega IV natives, and specifically the Kohms and Yangs. (TOS: "The Omega Glory")
Organia
Supposed Homeworld of the Organians and the Organian Council of Elders. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")
While it is unlikely that the Organians are members of the Federation themselves, a colony might have started on the planet following the Treaty of Organia.
Orion
Homeworld of the Orions, and former homeworld of the Orion Syndicate. (TOS: "[The Cage]]")
Note that chart may be referencing the friendlier Orion I.
Phylos
Homeworld of the Phylosians. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan")
Psi 2000
An uninhabited planet that disintegrated in 2266. (TOS: "The Naked Time")
Note that it is unclear why this would be on a Federation chart 98 years later, but perhaps this is referring to the Psi 2000's star system, and an inhabited world existed nearby.
Pollux IV
An uninhabited planet. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")
It is unknown if a colony was built on this planet.
Pollux system
Other than Pollux IV, its star Beta Geminorum was also mentioned, leading one to think that another inhabited world exists in the system.
Pyris VII
An uninhabited planet. (TOS: "Catspaw")
It is unknown why this planet would rise to prominence on the chart.
Regulan system
An inhabited planet in the Regulus star system, of which there are two.
Sarpeid system
An inhabited planet in the Sarpeid star system.
Sirius IX
Homeworld to a native population and a planetary government. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")
Talos IV
Homeworld of the Talosians. (TOS: "The Cage")
Note that the Talos IV was considered off limits in 2267. The chart simply mentioned "Talos," so there may be another population in the system.
Tau Ceti system
An inhabited planet in the Tau Ceti star system of which there are three:
Theta III
Nothing is known of this planet.
Tholian Assembly Homeworld
Homeworld of the Tholians and the Tholian Assembly. (TOS: "The Tholian Web")
Later references in TNG made the Tholians' inclusion in the Federation unlikely.
