All project developers, verification bodies, traders, brokers, and retailers must register for a Climate Action Reserve (the Reserve) registry account to be issued, hold, or retire Climate Reserve Tonnes (CRTs) or Registry Offset Credits (ROCs).

The process begins online by submitting the account request, including agreeing to the Reserve’s Terms of Use and submitting the required Know Your Customer (KYC) documents.

Each organization will designate one Account Manager, whose login will be activated once the Reserve Administrator approves the account and reviews all submitted materials. After approval, the Account Manager may create additional user logins as needed.

The following steps are required to open an account

1. Submit the Online Application
   Complete the New Account Application form online, including agreeing to the Reserve’s Terms of Use. After clicking “Submit for Approval,” the designated account manager will receive an email with a link to activate the account email address.

   Important: The email must be activated before the Reserve Administrator is notified of the pending request. Activating the email does not grant immediate access—please follow the next steps to complete the setup.

2. Application Review
   The Reserve Administrator will review the account submittal. The Account Manager will receive an email requesting an application, supporting documents and additional information. Please allow up to one month for the review of submitted materials.

   Note: If no response is received within 90 days, the account request will be rejected.

3. Account Approval Notification and Access:
   Once the request is approved, the account manager will receive a confirmation email at the address provided in the application. After approval, the account manager will have full access to all system features.
    
4. Account Setup Fee Invoice
   An invoice for the Account Setup Fee will be generated upon account approval. It will be available in the system under the “My Invoices” report for download and printing and will also be emailed to the billing contact and account manager.

   Invoices are due within 30 days (NET 30).

   If you have any questions about the registration process, please contact the Climate Action Reserve Administrator at email reserve@climateactionreserve.org.
