Check that a professional is registered

4 min Anyone: employers, hospitals, patients, other councils

Look a professional up on the Council’s live register by their registration, index or PIN number. No account is needed.

What you will learn

  • Open the public register check
  • Search by registration, index or PIN number
  • Read the result: Verified, Expired, Not in good standing, Revoked or No match

Every registered allied health professional is on the Council’s register. The check reads the live register, so it is always up to date: a suspension or an expired PIN shows at once.

Step by step

  1. Go to portal.ahpcghana.com/verify, or open the portal home page and press Verify a professional at the top.
  2. In Registration, indexing or PIN number, type the number from the professional’s certificate, ID card or letter, for example AHPC/PERM/2024/0012.
  3. If you are checking for an organisation, you can fill in the optional boxes:
    • Your organisation, Your name and Your email. They are recorded with the check, and the professional can see that their registration was checked.
  4. Press Check the register.

What you will see

  • Verified (green): the person is registered and in good standing. You also see their name, profession and registration status.
  • Expired (amber): the person is on the register but their PIN for this year has not been renewed.
  • Not in good standing (red): the person is suspended or otherwise not allowed to practise.
  • Revoked (red): the certificate or card was withdrawn. The reason is shown when there is one.
  • No match: no one on the register has that number. Check you typed it exactly as printed.
  • At the bottom: the date and time of the check, against the live register.
