Successful applicants will need to pay the registration fee to join the Register
If your application is successful, you’ll receive an email inviting you to set up your online account - this is where you'll pay the registration fee. The registration fee is comprised of the application scrutiny fee and the fee for your first year of registration, and must be paid in full, online, using a debit or credit card.
Please allow up to three days for your payment to reach our account – payment processing speeds can differ depending on your bank.
Fee breakdown
Scrutiny fee
The scrutiny fee is a one-off non-refundable payment of £81.45, which is the fee to process your application. It is a one-off payment which must be paid in full.
Registration fee
HCPC’s registration cycles are made up of two 'professional years'. The fee for the full two-year registration cycle is £232.72, which is £116.36 per year. If you join the Register within the second year of your registration cycle, only one year will be payable.
New graduates’ fees
New graduates are individuals who have successfully completed a UK approved programme within the last two years. We reduce the registration fee for new graduates by 50 per cent. The new graduate’s registration fee for a full two-year registration cycle is £116.36, which is £58.18 per year.
If a new graduate joins the Register less than six months before the start of the next professional year, they receive the remainder of the period free of charge (the ‘free period’).
Making a payment
In addition to the scrutiny fee, all applicants are required to pay their first year of registration in full with their registration fee.
Registration fee payments are made through the HCPC online account. If your application is successful, you'll receive a link to do this via email. You'll need to pay in full online, using a credit or debit card.
Once we have received your payment you will receive an email confirming that your registration has been successful and including your new registration number.
Please allow up to three days for your payment to reach our account – payment processing speeds can differ depending on your bank.
Paying one year by direct debit
If you’re eligible to pay for the full two-year registration cycle, you can opt to set up a direct debit instruction for the second year, which will be collected in two instalments.
If you wish to set up a direct debit instruction, you’ll need to head to the 'My Details' section of your HCPC online account. On this page you'll find a direct debit mandate section in which you can enter your bank account name, account number and sort code into the fields provided.
This will mean that, when you click on the banner to pay, the option to pay by direct debit will be made available.
