You can register to join ACCA at any time.
For the ACCA Qualification, you’ll need to check that your qualifications meet the minimum entrance requirements.
If you don’t yet meet the minimum entry requirements for the qualification, you can join our Foundations in Accountancy programme, which provides a clear pathway to progress onto the ACCA Qualification.

Filling in your application
To complete your application, you’ll need:
Proof of identification such as a driver's license, national ID card, passport, or birth certificate.
Official translations of any documents not in English, stamped by a licensed translator who is authorised and qualified to provide translation services.
Official evidence of your qualifications that meet the ACCA’s minimum entry requirements. If you are applying for exemptions, include both your qualification completion certificate and an academic transcript showing the subjects completed and the corresponding pass marks.
Parental consent is required if you are between 13 to 15 years old or 13 to 17 in select countries. Find out more in a section below.
If any matters listed in Bye-law 8 apply to you (for example if you have received a conviction or caution or been disciplined by another professional or regulatory body), please ensure you complete the Admission and Licencing Committee form.
If you're employed by an ACCA Exchange employer
To register, your employer will send you an email invitation. Once you receive the invite, follow the instructions to complete your online registration application. After we’ve reviewed and approved your application, your employer will be able to view and manage your ACCA account details.
What you need to know:
Joint Exam Schemes
In certain countries, we work jointly with national accountancy bodies through a Joint Exam Scheme. If this applies to you, you may need to register separately with your local exam body as well as registering with ACCA. To find out if this applies in your region, consult our Joint Examination Schemes list or read our article, How do I register with a Joint Exam Scheme.
Exemptions
If you are registering for the Foundations in Accountancy or ACCA qualification, you'll have the option to apply for exemptions. Learn about exemptions in our article Learn about exemptions (add link to KB ref. 244), and use our exemption calculator to see which ones you may be eligible for.
Whether parental consent is needed depends on your age and where you live.
Please upload the completed form when submitting your student application.
Registration code
If you have been provided with a registration code, please enter it in the ‘Special registration code’ field of the online application. If you don’t have a code, simply leave this blank.
If your registration code isn’t working, please check the following:
Qualification - make sure you’re registering for the correct qualification the code applies to.
Country - check that your country of residence matches the country the code was issued for.
If you’ve checked both and the code still doesn’t work, please contact the organisation or provider who gave you the code.
Fees and charges
When submitting your application, you’ll be asked to pay a registration fee. Please note that your registration with ACCA will not be fully completed until this registration payment is received.
If your employer or education provider has given you a special registration code, please enter it in the ‘Special registration code’ field of the online application. If you don’t have a code, simply leave this blank.
Annual subscription
When you register for the FIA, ACCA, or Advanced Diploma in Finance and Business (Russian) qualifications, you’re agreeing to pay an annual subscription fee.
Your first payment will be taken during registration.
After that, the fee is payable each year on 1 January.
