The Members’ Portal will look different to what you’re used to. It’s easy to use, with everything you need in one place. This will mean that you will only have to login once whenever you want to access your CIRO member benefits.
The Members’ Portal will use your primary email address for access in place of your unique CIRO username. You will receive an email from the system to your primary email address to set a password when the portal is launched.
If you’re a corporate member and your membership is paid for by your company, you won’t need to do anything. We will email you to confirm your membership for the next year and to ask you to check your details are up to date.

If you pay for your membership, we will email you ahead of your membership expiry date to advise you that it is time to renew your membership. We have been able to simplify the process and you will be able to make a payment directly from the email link. Alternatively, if you have a standing order in place, we will manually process your renewal once your payment is received into the bank. Likewise, we will still process cheques if this is your preferred method of payment.
We will transfer your application over to the new Members’ Portal as a download, and you can access it in the ‘Upgrading’ section when you login. You will need to complete your membership upgrade in the new portal. There will be guidance to help you with this.
Yes, your CIRO membership number will change. We know that the membership number demonstrates longevity, so your old number will display as a ‘legacy’ number next to your new one on your account.
If you added any CPD activities to your record, this will be brought over to the new Members’ Portal and can be found in the ‘CPD’ section as a download.
No, the app will no longer be supported. However, the new CIRO Members’ Portal will be accessible through your browser on all your devices and you will be able to access all your member benefits from the portal.
If your membership lapses, you won’t be able to access your CIRO member benefits. Please contact the CIRO membership team at membership@railwayoperators.co.uk or +44 (0) 3333 440523 if this happens
