How to apply to register

We’ve paused registration applications from April to June 2024.

Applications for registration are temporarily closed and will restart from 3 June. 

We are making technical changes to the systems we use for registration, including the application process.  

The last date for applying to register before our system changes was 10 April 2024.  

We’ll be ready to accept new applications from 3 June 2024. 

The Care Inspectorate is aware of the changes we are making and that we are stopping applications for a short time.  

Find more information about the temporary pause and guidance here.
 

You’ll find more information about all the changes we’re making on our
