To register you will need to:
You will then be emailed a unique verification code which is valid for 10 minutes. Once it’s expired you will need to begin the process again. The registration process is only complete once the code is entered and accepted.
The code can take up to 5 minutes to arrive. If it doesn’t arrive after this time:
check your spam/junk/clutter folders (add noreply@suffolk.gov.uk to your trusted sender list to avoid future emails being sent to these folders).
check with your IT/email provider to make sure emails from noreply@suffolk.gov.uk are not being blocked, delayed or temporarily quarantined. Your IT/email provider may need to update their spam email policies to ensure these emails are delivered into your mailbox without delay.
To log into the portal, use your email address and the password used to register
Each time you log in a unique verification code will be emailed to you. This is valid for 10 minutes and can only be used once.
The code will usually arrive within 5 minutes (if it doesn’t please check your spam/junk/clutter folders as it will likely be in there).
Please allow time for the login verification code to arrive before requesting another one. By requesting another verification code the first code generated (remember this could still be on its way to you), will not work.
