Here we will take you through step-by-step procedure of creating your myACCA account with the help of images:

Step – 1:

The entire process takes around 10 minutes for completion. Click on the “Get Started” icon to start the registration process.

Step – 3:

You have to put in all details like your full name, email address, postal address and phone number. It is very important to put in all correct information as the ACCA body will use these details to communicate with you regarding any information related to the exam and the results. Please save the details before continuing on to the next page.

Step – 4:

Here, as you can see from the image, you have to select the qualification you want to study for and give the exam. For example, if you want to study for Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) and give the exam, then you need to select that as your qualification in this step.

Step – 5:

In Step 5, you have to upload an identification document which has your birthdate and name in the same format as mentioned by you in Step 2 such as driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, etc. If the surname does not match your identification, then the ACCA body will need either your marriage license or official notice of name change.

Step – 6:

Step – 7:

The next step is to register for the exam by paying up the registration fees to the ACCA institute. The usual fees is 79 pounds. However, Educational institutes like EduPristine who have tie-up with the ACCA institute are provided with a Registration Code which is a kind of a discount coupon.

In case you are a student of such an institute, you can ask for the Registration Code from the institute and put it in the relevant field (as shown in the image below) to avail the discount of almost 59 pounds. The registration fees after discount is only 20 pounds now as shown in the image 2 below. If you don’t avail the discount, i.e., if you are not a student of such an institute, then you have to pay the full fees of 79 pounds as shown in the image 3 below.
