Registration

Warwickshire County Record Office is now accepting the Archives Card. Full details can be found online, about registering for the Archives Card.

To apply for an Archives Card, you will need to complete the initial registration process prior to your visit. Facilities are available onsite for visitors who are unable to complete the initial registration prior to visiting. Visitors who wish to use our searchroom, but do not have an Archives card, or cannot provide the required ID will be issued with a temporary ticket (one form of ID will be required for a temporary ticket). CARN tickets will still be accepted until their expiry date.
