Apply online to become a registered body
Only registered bodies can approve and send standard and enhanced application checks to AccessNI. To apply for registration, an organisation uses an online process. They need an nidirect account in the name of a senior staff member. The registration fee is £195.00
Before you start

- the name of the proposed lead signatory
- the type of business and details about the organisation
- jobs and positions the organisation will need checks for
- confirmation the organisation will make at least 20 applications every year
The lead signatory will be AccessNI’s immediate contact.
