How to register
Applying to join the registers is a simple on-line process. You will need to provide us with your contact details and evidence that you have achieved the relevant eligibility criteria. You can read more about the criteria for each registration category by clicking here.
Those wishing to register in the sign language interpreting categories must provide a current professional indemnity insurance certificate and a CRB Enhanced disclosure. These are optional for those registering in other categories. We recommend that they are provided by all applicants.
If all is in order with your completed application and the required supporting information, we will approve your application. Registration takes effect from the date of approval and is valid for 12 months. You are required to renew your registration on an annual basis.

How to renew your online registration
Registration renewal is completed by professionals up to four weeks before their registration expires.
If registrations have expired, or are approaching their expiration date, professionals are notified when they login to the professionals’ area of the NRCPD website www.nrcpd.org.uk.
Renewing is simple, because professionals need only supply details of their current Professional Indemnity Insurance and CRB Enhanced Disclosure if they need to. All the other data we retain from the professional’s previous application, that needs to be updated only if anything has changed.
We offer a fees discount to professionals who register in more than one category at the same time.
As soon as the renewal process is completed we send the professional their new ID card, so never should a professional be using an expired ID.
