Summary 

The application process is made up of 3 steps:

  2. Paying your registration fee

Notes

Once we have received your application to register, we will email you within 3 days to confirm the following:

The registration application process takes 20  days once we have received your application and all supporting documents in the correct format. However, in busy periods, it can take up to 6 weeks to wait for an appointment.

To avoid any delay to when you can start work, we recommend that you apply to register and book your registration appointment as soon as possible.

If there is a problem with your application, we will aim to notify you within 7 days of receiving your documents.

If you are unable to present the correct original documents at your appointment, you will not be able to register and you may need to attend a second appointment.
