Creating an online application

Signing up

When you click the button below, you’ll be taken to the sign in page. If it’s your first time there, you’ll need to sign up for an account to access the form. (Click the Sign up / Sign in button to do this.)

Tip: Use your personal email address

Your email address will be the detail we use to communicate with you and to create your online account when you're registered. You’ll need access to it when you renew your registration, pay your fees and complete other actions relating to your registration and CPD.

When signing up, it's is important that you provide an email address to which you have long-term access, rather than one managed by a university or similar institution.

Tip: Add us to your safe senders list

You’ll need to be able to receive automated emails from our system. These will relate to your application as well as your registration. Some email providers flag these as spam or junk, preventing you from seeing them. To ensure this doesn’t affect you please add our domain, hcpc-uk.org, to the safe senders list on your email platform.

Submitting your application

When you’ve filled in all your information, the ‘submit’ button will appear. This will finish and submit your application: once you’ve clicked ‘submit’, you’ll no longer be able to make changes to your application.

If any documents are missing from your application, you won’t see the ‘submit’ button. Instead, a message will appear indicating which section is missing a document. Please revisit this section and upload the document, then return to the final page.
