Registration is via HMRC's online registration page: https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/registration (select 'Pensions'). A scheme administrator or a practitioner ID can be applied for, although HMRC advise that registration as Scheme Administrator can take up to seven days as some information is sent by post to verify identity.
A guide to the service for scheme administrators and practitioners is available at: www.hmrc.gov.uk/pensionschemes/online-user-guide.pdf and information can be obtained from the pension scheme helpdesk on 0115 974 1600.
