International Clearance - New Process

Paul Proctor • 9 October 2026

There is a new online process for obtaining International Clearance

Please click on the link below to start the new online process to obtain International Clearance for a player coming to or returning to England to play.


Remember that they may not necessarily have played abroad. Being registered for a club abroad which includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland means they require international clearance to play in England.
