- You fill in the registration form.

- The CLARIN office approves your account request. The CLARIN office will perform a manual check for each account request, normally within 2 working days. The procedure is explained below.

- An automated email is sent to your email address for verification. Click on the included link. If you do not receive this email please make sure to check your spam folder.

- After confirming your email address your account is activated and ready to be used.

- If your account request was not approved, the office will inform you about that by email.

# About the manual check

This entails:

- Filtering out spam requests.

- Checking if the email address used is linked to an academic institution.

- If this is not the case, reading the motivation of the account request.

- In case of unclarity, the CLARIN office will contact you for further information.
