Guide to GP Services
What you need to register with a GP surgery
You’ll only be asked to give basic information to register with a GP surgery. This includes your name, date of birth and address.
You do not need ID, proof of address or proof of immigration status.
Having an NHS number can make it easier to find your medical records, but you do not need one to register.
As part of registering you’ll also be asked for:
- the name and address of an emergency contact
- the name and address of the GP you’re registered with now, if you have one
- the name and address of your carer, if you have one
Sometimes, a GP surgery may ask for extra documents or details for other reasons, like helping to find or transfer your medical records, or to prove you’re the parent or guardian of a child you’re registering.
If you do not have a permanent address, you can register with a GP surgery using a temporary address or the address of the GP surgery.
Who can register with a GP surgery
Everyone in England can register with a GP surgery, including as a temporary patient if you’re visiting from abroad.
A GP surgery may refuse your registration if:
- they’re not accepting new patients
- you live outside the surgery’s area
- you have been removed from the their patient list before

Temporary Registration
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
Download and print a temporary resident registration form. If you are unable to print, these forms can be are in the surgery. You will need to complete this by hand and bring it to the surgery.
