Our regulator the Care Quality Commission requires us to confirm your identity. We do this by asking you to take a selfie and a photo of a document that has your name on it. You only do this once. When you return for a new visit or follow-up, we’ll have your identity checked already.
Please make sure that you have your valid photo ID to hand. You’ll then be prompted to take a photo of yourself (a selfie) to be used as a comparison against the photo on your ID.
We can accept:
We’re can’t accept anything other than valid photo ID, which means we're unable to accept the older paper form of a driver’s license.
For children & teens, we need to confirm you are the child’s legal guardian. You will be asked to show on video and upload a photo of one of these documents:
Full or long-form birth certificate
Formal adoption papers or certificate
Your child will need additional ID (red book, student ID, etc).
It’s important that the document includes your name as the parent or legal guardian. We will check that your account details match the certificate.
It’s really important that you tell us your correct name, date of birth, and health details so that we know who you are and we can make the right healthcare decisions.
