Supporting documents: new provider registration applications
Important
From 9 February, care homes and supported living services need to send additional documents with your applications. This change will help us review your applications more quickly.
We've also added new guidance for home care (domiciliary care) applicants that want to provide specialist services for autistic people and people with a learning disability.
This guidance explains which documents you must send when you apply to register as a provider with CQC. These documents help us assess your application.
Before you start
It's important that you:
- check which documents you need to send (this depends on your circumstances).
- follow our guidance on what each document should include.
We will reject your application if you do not send all your required documents.
We will also reject your application if your documents:
- contain incorrect or out‑of‑date information
- do not include the information we ask for
- are not relevant to your service or regulated activities
