Any UKAR/RP not registered with UKARA is not recognised as fully-competent and so the standard of service might be variable. Further, UKARA aims to ensure UKAR/RPs operate to uniform standards and ethics, as well as being able to comply with their legal obligations. Once registered with UKARA, their clients or employees can be assured of a professionally-recognised service provider.

UKARA members must be fully compliant with the requirements set by the relevant regulatory bodies, ensuring consumers can continue to access safe and quality products in the UK. Individuals who sign up to UKARA must put their services under intense but necessary scrutiny to demonstrate their quality, technical and regulatory competence.

The UK Authorised Representatives Association (UKARA) credentials, registers and maintains a list / database of professional representatives.
