Join the practice

During the registration process, you will be asked to upload photos and scans of suitable personal identification documents. If you do not have these documents, or have any other questions or problems with the registration process, you will need to come to the surgery and speak to a receptionist who can support you with your registration.

You will not be refused registration or appointments because you don’t have a proof of address or personal identification at hand.

This also applies if you are an asylum seeker, refugee, a homeless patient or an overseas visitor, whether lawfully in the UK or not.
