Important
From 17 August 2026, all ambulance services will need to send additional documents with your applications. This change will help us review your applications more quickly.
This guidance explains which documents you must send when you apply to register as a provider with CQC. These documents help us assess your application.
Before you start
It's important that you:
- check which documents you need to send (this depends on your circumstances).
- follow our guidance on what each document should include.
We will reject your application if you do not send all your required documents.
We will also reject your application if your documents:
- contain incorrect or out‑of‑date information
- do not include the information we ask for
- are not relevant to your service or regulated activities
