Registration bodies
Does your job need registration?
Tap your profession to see which body usually applies. We confirm the exact one for your role at your free review.
Examples only. We confirm the right body and its current requirements on official pages.
How Recognise works
From "which body?" to a decision.
Gather evidence
Qualifications, IQA results, licences and references, in the format they want.
Apply
We help you complete the application. You submit and pay the body directly.
Decision & next steps
We explain the outcome and any conditions or assessments.
Body decidesDo I need an IQA before registration?+
It depends on the body. Teachers need a Teaching IQA first. Nurses usually don't need an NZQA IQA at all. We check what your body requires.
Can you guarantee registration?+
No. Each registration body makes its own decision. We help you meet their requirements and present your evidence clearly.
Do I pay the registration body through you?+
No. Official fees are always paid directly to the body. Our fee is separate and agreed in writing.
