How to Register as a Registered Care Professional (CPR)
3-Step Registration Process
Professional registration as a Registered Care Professional (CPR) recognises your skills, qualifications, and commitment to quality care. Based on your training and experience, you’ll be placed into one of three registration tiers: Foundation, Intermediate, or Advanced.
Step 1: Create a CPR Account & Initial Registration
- Register and create your personal registration account. This will enable you to update your profile, training and qualifications, and pay the registration fee.
Step 2: DBS & Identity Verification
You will receive an invitation from our partner at MePassport to complete the ID and verification process.
As part of this important process, you will be asked to upload the following documents, depending on your employment status and experience, to include:
Training and Qualification Certificates: These are used to determine your registration tier.
Step 3: Confirmation of Registration
Once verification has been completed and registration is approved, you will receive a confirmation email containing:
Your official Registered Care Professional (CPR) status
Your assigned tier (Foundation, Intermediate, or Advanced)
A unique Register PIN
A digital registration badge for professional use
