You need to get an invite before you can create an account.

Getting an invite

If you’re an immigration adviser, email a letter of authority to ahrocentralcommunicationshub@homeoffice.gov.uk.

Use the subject line ‘MAC Portal’ so it goes to the right team.

The team who invite you cannot give you information about individual asylum claims.

If you’re a paralegal or member of support staff, an immigration adviser in your organisation with an account can create an account for you.
