Information for agents, players, parents, coaches and clubs

Only individuals registered with The FA as an FA Registered Football Agent are authorised to conduct football agent services on behalf of players, coaches and clubs in England.

Those individuals have been issued with a Digital ID by The FA in order to verify their identity and FA Registration.

An FA Registered Football Agent must present the Digital ID to a Player (or the Player’s legal guardian if that player is a Minor), Coach or Club upon request. The Digital ID must be presented within the ID123 app and not by a screenshot, photo or any other alternative. 

To ensure you are dealing with an FA Registered Football Agent, it is important to familiarise yourself with the Digital ID and its features.
