Introduction
The registration verification page allows new users to complete their account creation after receiving a verification link via SMS. This is the final step in the self-registration process, where you confirm your mobile number and agree to the End User Licence Agreement before accessing CAREFUL.
Before You Start
- You must have completed the organisation registration form
- You must have received a verification SMS on your registered mobile number containing a verification link
- The verification link is valid for 24 hours from the time of registration
- No existing CAREFUL account or login is required
Steps
-
Open the verification link from the SMS you received on your mobile phone. The link will automatically open in your browser and take you to the verification page.
-
Review the page contents. You'll see:
- The heading "Create account - [Region]"
- A welcome message: "Thanks for registering"
- A link to the End User Licence Agreement
-
(Optional) Read the End User Licence Agreement by clicking the End User License Agreement link. This will open the agreement in a new browser tab.
-
Agree to the terms. Tick the I agree checkbox to confirm you accept the End User Licence Agreement. The Create account button will become enabled.
-
Complete verification. Click the Create account button to verify your mobile number and activate your account.
-
Wait for processing. The system will validate your verification token and create your authenticated session. This normally takes just a few seconds.
-
Automatic redirect. Once verification succeeds, you'll be automatically redirected to the account setup page to complete your profile.
Error States
If you encounter an error during verification:
- "token expired" - Your verification link has expired (more than 24 hours old). You'll need to contact your organisation administrator or re-register.
- "token not found" - The verification link is invalid or has already been used. Check you're using the most recent SMS link, or contact support.
- Other validation errors - These will be displayed on the page. Follow the instructions provided or contact your organisation administrator.
Tips
- The verification link can only be used once. If you've already verified your account, use the standard login page instead.
- Don't share your verification link with others. It's unique to your account and mobile number.
- If you don't receive the SMS within a few minutes of registering, check your mobile number was entered correctly during registration.
- The verification process happens before you set your password. Password setup comes in the next step after verification.
- Make sure you have a stable internet connection when clicking the verification link to avoid timeout errors.
