What to have ready before you register

The official walkthrough describes the registration screens collecting:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Nationality
• Gender

You’ll be asked for details from your passport, including:

• Passport number
• Expiry date
• Country of issue
• “A clear photo or scan of the passport bio page” — have a good-quality digital copy ready before you start, in whatever file format the portal specifies at the time

The official walkthrough says all submitted documents must be active and not expired, and that attempting to register with expired documents leads to permanent account suspension. Check the expiry dates of every document you will upload. The official registration guidance does not specify a minimum remaining passport-validity period.

• Email address — described by the official portal as a “unique identifier on the system” that “cannot be changed, edited or updated after registration”. Choose an address you’ll keep long-term and check regularly, since you may need it for activation, your certificate, and future correspondence.
• Mobile number
• Country of residence

Beyond your passport scan, the official walkthrough lists supporting documents based on the chosen user type, including qualifications where required. It gives “Non-EU/EEA Still Abroad” as an example user type. Follow the document requests for your selected category in the official portal, and ask Skills Pass if a request is unclear.

If you are under 18, the official walkthrough notes that the system requests “additional forms… for those who are under the age of 18”. If this applies to you, expect an extra step and budget a little more time for it.

• Confirm your passport (and any other identity documents you’ll upload) is valid and not close to expiring.
• Have a clear digital scan or photo of your passport’s bio page ready on the device you’ll register from.
• Double-check your name, date of birth and email address. The official walkthrough specifically says the email address cannot be changed, edited or updated after registration.
• Set aside enough uninterrupted time to finish account creation and activation — remember the 24-hour activation window described on the official portal.

The registration fields and uploads listed here come from the official Skills Pass walkthrough; the preparation tips are this guide’s advice. Malta Pre-Departure Course does not collect these registration documents. If another site asks you to submit them or pay for Pre-Departure Course registration, verify that request directly with Identità’s official guidance or the official Skills Pass site before proceeding.
