Registration Status Certificate

The Registration Status Certificate is an official document from the university confirming your registration status for the current year, plus your course details and basic personal information. It is available to taught students and research postgraduates (up to thesis submission for examination).

You may need this document for a variety of reasons, including confirming to a bank that you are a registered student, or to get a travel visa.

Before you apply

If you are a new or returning student and you are eligible to register for the current academic year please complete online registration before submitting your request. If you have not completed online registration your request may be declined.

Please ensure that your term-time address (where you live whilst at University) and permanent home address (where you live when not at University) details are up to date so that these can be correctly recorded on your document (where necessary).
