SSSC Registration Fee

It’s important that you keep up to date with paying your fees.

It’s your responsibility and if you don’t pay on time your registration could be removed meaning you would need to re-apply and pay the application fee. You may not be able to work and your employer may take action because you are not registered.

How much do I need to pay?

The fees are set at different levels depending on the role and the part of the Register. You can find more information on the Help with Register parts, fees and qualifications page.

When do I need to pay?

You pay a fee with your application and a fee each year for the period of your registration. This is usually five years except for social workers (three years) and social work students (up to seven years). At the end of the registration period you are invited to renew your registration. We will contact you before your fee is due to remind you.

How do I pay my fee?

There are various ways to pay your fee but some methods are much faster and more secure than others.

  • Online – the quickest and most secure way to pay your fee is through MySSSC
