NHS England require all registrations for a new smartcard to take place either using a new app known as Apply for Care ID or face to face.
The Apply for Care ID app is simple to use and will mean that new users do not need to attend an ICB office to get a new smartcard.
Find out more about the Apply for Care ID service.
If you have a Sponsor, RA Agent or RA Manager role you should be able to access the Apply for Care ID service and start using the service now.
Organisations are advised to take advantage of the local RA ID checkers role by nominating at least 2 staff per site to complete the relevant training (an online RA policy module plus a remote ID check sessions) by emailing the itservicedesk.nelicb@nhs.net with names, email and telephone numbers of nominees.
