England and Scotland

If you work in England and/or Scotland you have to take a re-assessment with a Centre. The re-assessment can be taken between the first year of the ID card life and up to five years after the card has expired.

For information on centres in your local area please contact any or all of the Awarding Organisations listed above. 

Please note - once the expiry date on the card has passed, the card is no longer valid and must be renewed.

Northern Ireland and Wales

You need to re-register your qualifications every five years (as per your ID card). You may apply for re-registration after the first year of the card’s life and up to three months after the card expiry date.

Please check your current card is not past this three-month period.

For example: if your card expired on 01/01/2021 the last date to re-register is 01/04/2021.

Apply to re-register

You need:

  1. to complete a re-registration application form
  2. a recent passport-style photo that meets our requirements.
  3. to pay the fee no later than 3 months after the current card expiry date.

We recommend you apply six months before the card expiry date. This allows time to process the card and deal with any issues. Should you apply after the three-month expiry period, we can't issue a new ID card. You will need to undertake assessment and submit a new Initial Application.

Replacement ID card

To order a replacement card, you need to:

  1. Phone SWQR on 0345 270 2720. 
  2. A member of the team will ask for your surname and date of birth to access your record and check that you have a valid card to replace.
  3. You will be given a unique reference number and passed through to our automated payment line. (Please ensure you have a means of noting down your reference number when you phone).
  4. Following the instructions on the payment line to make your payment.
  5. Your new card will be printed and posted out to the address you provided.

Please note: SWQR can't issue expired ID cards, and replacement cards are issued on a 'like for like' basis.
