# Register a Pickup Person or Employee

Before checking in the very first time, each pickup person (and employee) will need to register at the check-in computer.

## Help New Families & Employees

You may want to help authorized pickup people (and new employees) when they first register and [Check In](https://procare-solutions.document360.io/procare-desktop/docs/how-to-check-in-1) to make sure they are comfortable with the process.

## Before You Begin

Before checking in the very first time, each person (authorized child pickup or employee) will need to be issued a [Temporary Registration Number](/procare-desktop/docs/temporary-registration-number-for-check-in). They will need this number before they can register.

## Register

1. At the check-in computer select the *Register* button and follow the on screen prompts.
2. Depending on which [Options](/procare-desktop/docs/check-in-options) are selected, the pickup person or employee will be asked to register one of the following items to identify themselves. More info on [Check-In Methods.](/procare-desktop/docs/can-a-person-check-in-using-only-an-id-code-without-a-password)
  1. Their **Fingerprint** and **password** (optional–if required).
  2. A **Personal ID Number** (PIN) and **password** number of their choosing (required). **Note**: The numbers cannot be sequential (like 1234 or 4567) or repetitive (like 1111 or 2222) **Note**: The password must be different than the PIN number.
  3. A **Magnetic Swipe Card** (credit card, grocery club card, etc.), and **password** (optional–if required).

## Eliminate Passwords

When using fingerprints or magnetic cards you may choose not to require a password for check in by unchecking the *Require Password* box within [Check-In Options](/procare-desktop/docs/check-in-options).

## Forgot Your Password?

If a person forgets their password you may give them a new [Temporary Registration Number](/procare-desktop/docs/temporary-registration-number-for-check-in). Then they may register to check in again.
