How to register with ACCA
In order to be able to start attempting the ACCA exams you must first register as a student with them
1 You can register with the ACCA by post or on line.
Request a registration pack
Please note, this service is available only in the Baltic States. If you are from other countries, please contact directly the ACCA.
We will send you ACCA Registration Form along with advice on how to fill in the form immediately after we received the request.
After you have completed the form, enclose it with appropriate supporting documentation (proof of qualifications to claim exemptions etc) and send it to the ACCA UK Office in Glasgow.
Alternatively register with the ACCA on-line

Here are few tips when you register on line:
- To obtain the ACCA qualification, you need to choose ACCA Qualification (not Diploma or Accounting Technician)
- When selecting Law and Tax variant choose UK (or English)
- Accounting and Audit Stream - choose International
- Payment methods currently accepted are Visa and Mastercard. Alternatively you can submit a cheque with your supporting documentation.
Tracking Lounge
After submitting your application, you will be provided with an electronic confirmation of the receipt of your application form. Use it to access a dedicated area - the Tracking Lounge - on the ACCA website to follow the progress of your application.
Funds are not collected from credit card authorisations until all supporting documentation is received and considered by ACCA and your application is accepted.
The ACCA will not process your application if payment is not received.
After you have completed the ACCA Declaration Sheet online, print it out and enclose it with appropriate supporting documentation (proof of qualifications to claim exemptions etc).
Return it to the ACCA UK Office in Glasgow.
If you have any questions about your registration, you can contact directly the ACCA by writing to: students@accaglobal.comWe recommend that you register by post instead of on line. This will give you more time to consider your answers to the questions. You will still need to submit the same documents by post whichever way you register.
2 Documents required for registration with ACCA
- a passport sized photograph
- copy of birth certificate or pages from your passport showing your personal details
- copy of marriage certificate if your name has changed
- copies of previous school certificates, diplomas, degrees, qualifications issued by awarding body e.g. University Diploma.

The photocopies do not need to be notarized. However, there must also be a translation into English of the list of examinations passed at university – this must be stamped either by your university or by your firm as being correct.

4 Claim Exemptions
Holders of recognised degrees from universities and colleges, and holders of national professional qualifications MAY be eligible for exemption from some or all of the nine papers from Fundamentals level: Skills and knowledge Modules.
There are no exemptions from Professional Level.
ACCA can only award exemption on the basis of qualifications awarded by recognised institutions (i.e. those which are recognised by the local Ministry of Education as public sector institutions, or the equivalent status under their regulations).
If you hold a degree or professional qualification you will need to submit copies (and translations) of your degree certificates and course transcripts to obtain any exemptions available. Applications for assessment of existing qualifications to claim exemptions must be directed to the ACCA Glasgow office in Scotland.
Actual exemption will be confirmed at the time of a student's initial registration with ACCA. That is, when you receive the ACCA Student Pack.
Students are required to pay an exemption fee for each paper awarded. Exemption fees are the same as examination fees.
You must send official proof of any relevant qualifications which are held, or are currently being studied for, with your registration form, in order for us to assess your eligibility and confirm your entitlement for exemptions.
In Latvia usually most students with University Degree in Economics get exemption from Paper F2 and F3. The Stockholm School of Economics students may get additionally more exemptions. Please note that exemption often varies from student to student, based on their qualifications.
Find out on the ACCA page your eligibility for exemptions
