# Register a consumer from the Provider Center

# Register a consumer from the Provider Center {#ariaid-title1}

Register a consumer instance from the Connections tab in the Provider Center to establish a Service Exchange connection between your instance and the consumer instance.

## Before you begin

* Role required: admin
* A provider record must have been created. See [Set up a Service Exchange provider record](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mem1m9g~TOtUn4FJQdN22g "Set up a new provider record to establish a unique identifier for the Service Exchange for Providers (sn_sb_pro) application.").
* A company record must exist for the consumer in the provider instance, and a contact must be associated with that company.
* The consumer instance must be running Service Exchange version 2.3.18 or later.

## About this task

As a provider admin, you initiate the registration process by creating a connection request in the Provider Center. This generates a unique registration URL that the consumer uses to complete their
registration.

If email notifications are enabled, the system sends the registration URL to the consumer contact. Otherwise, you share the URL manually after the connection card is created.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Exchange ProviderAdministrationProvider Center.
2. Select the Connections tab.
3. Select New connection.
4. In the Create a new connection form, enter the following details:  
   * Company: Select the company associated with the consumer instance.
   * Contact: Select the contact associated with the company.  
     Note:  
     The contact must be an admin user in the consumer instance. Registration cannot be completed by any other user.
   * URL: Enter the URL of the consumer instance.
5. Select Create connection.  
   A connection card is created for the consumer and a registration URL is generated.
6. **Optional:** If email notifications are turned off, copy the registration URL from the Connection Card and share the URL with the consumer admin.  
   The consumer admin must use this URL to complete the registration process.

## Result

A connection request is created and the consumer receives the registration URL. After the consumer completes registration, the connection card state is set to Onboarded. Select View details on the connection card to review the registration details and configure connection settings.
