If you do not have a TRN

If you’re eligible for a TRN in England, you should be allocated one automatically by the Teaching Regulation Agency or Capita Teachers’ Pensions.

If you do not have a TRN but need one to do a national professional qualification (NPQ), you can request a TRN.

What a TRN is for

You need a TRN to:

• access your teaching qualifications to download your certificates, change the name on them or check details of your initial teacher training and induction
• give to employers so they can complete mandatory teacher status checks
• manage records of your contributions to the Teachers’ Pensions scheme
• give to the Department for Education (DfE) when you have been awarded QTS so you can begin your early career teacher induction
• register for an NPQ
