What do I need for urgent care if I am not registered?

Nov 9, 2026
Short answer

In the UK you can use an urgent treatment centre without a GP registration, a fixed address or an NHS number. Bring your medicines or a prescription list, plus something showing your name and date of birth.

In the UK you can use an urgent treatment centre without a GP registration, a fixed address or an NHS number. Bring your medicines or a prescription list, plus something showing your name and date of birth. If you booked an arrival time through NHS 111 online, the centre already has your details; if not, expect to give your reason for visiting at the desk.

If you have no documents with you, say so at the desk rather than leaving: staff can tell you which details are essential today and which can follow later. For a child, bring any vaccination record you have, because staff ask about it. At the end of the visit, ask for an itemised receipt; insurers and employers usually want one, and it is easier to get before you walk out.
