How to register

Register for the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme (HCRS) online.

Before you start

To register, you’ll need to provide your:  

  • address 
  • email address
  • phone number
  • solicitor’s details, if you have one
  • unique reference number (URN) - you’ll find this on the letter confirming your conviction has been quashed, if you got one

You can still register if you’ve had your conviction quashed but you’ve not got a letter.

If you’re registering for someone else

You’ll need the personal details of the person you’re registering for, as well as your own details.

After registering, you’ll be asked to provide documents to show you have the legal right to register for that person.
