This article walks you through every step of the registration process, what information you need to keep ready, and the common mistakes that lead to delays or discrepancies.
Before You Begin: What to Keep Ready
Starting the registration without your documents and information in order wastes time and increases the chance of errors. Before you open the ACPC portal, have the following ready:
