Apply for Your ECS Card in the UK

An ECS card is the recognised ID card for electricians, FESS, data, telecoms and related trades working on electrotechnical sites across the UK. It links your identity, qualifications and health & safety status in one place.

You can start your ECS card application online using the secure form below. You will need basic personal details, proof of ID, a suitable photograph and, in most cases, evidence of ECS Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) test or another accepted health & safety qualification.

Different ECS card types exist for labourers, trainees, apprentices, qualified electricians, FESS operatives, network installers, AV technicians, supervisors and managers. Choosing the correct route helps avoid delays or rejections.
