Get a registration status certificate

All taught students and pre-submission research postgraduates can get a registration status certificate.

You may need a registration status certificate to confirm your student status for a variety of reasons. For example, to show your bank you are a registered student or to get a travel visa.

A registration status certificate is an official university document.

It shows:

your registration status for the current year
your course details
your basic personal information.

How to apply for a registration status certificate

To apply for a registration status certificate you must first register as a student online.
You need to ensure your address information is current before you apply for your certificate. We are unable to include temporary or future addresses on official documents.
After registration and when you are sure your personal details are correct, you can apply for a registration status certificate online (Microsoft Form).

Delivery of your registration status certificate

We aim to email your digital registration status certificate to you within 10 working days. Delivery may take longer during busy periods. Please don’t send us duplicate requests while we process your request.

To speak to us about your application, email the Student Information Service at studentinfo@leeds.ac.uk. Please include your order number.

Research postgraduates – if you have already submitted your thesis

We cannot issue a registration status certificate to research postgraduates after thesis submission.

If you need an official document to confirm your status, you can request a statement. Email Doctoral College on rp_examinations@adm.leeds.ac.uk.

Former students

You can apply for a former student statement which includes:

your attendance dates
programme of study (course)
the qualification or class you achieved and award date.
