# Portal Registration

> Patient self-registration page for the Encore OS patient portal, allowing new users to create an account.

Patient self-registration form at `/portal/register` where new portal users create an account with name, email, and password before accessing their health information.

## Overview

The Portal Registration page is the patient-facing account-creation screen. It collects first name, last name, email address, password (minimum 8 characters), and terms-of-service acceptance. On successful submission the user is redirected to `/portal/login` and prompted to verify their email. The page is accessible without an existing session (public route, no authentication guard).

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. ## Before you start

* You must have a valid email address.
* Passwords must be at least 8 characters.
* You must accept the terms of service to complete registration.

## Steps

1. Navigate to `/portal/register`.
2. Enter your first name and last name.
3. Enter your email address.
4. Enter a password (at least 8 characters) and confirm it.
5. Check the terms-of-service acceptance box.
6. Click **Create Account**.
7. Check your email for a verification message and complete verification before signing in.

## Key concepts

**Terms acceptance** — Registration requires explicit acceptance of terms via a checkbox; the form will not submit without it.

**Password confirmation** — The form validates that the password and confirmation fields match before submission.
