The consumer/employer or consumer representative completes and submits a request application to the local source of registry operations. The completed application may indicate the days and times an individual provider is needed, the personal care tasks that need to be performed, and any preferences the consumer/employer may have. Upon completion of the application, a registry coordinator will conduct a query which will generate a list of names that best match the consumer/employer's specific criteria. The list will be given to the consumer/employer via mail, or phone, or fax or email within a reasonable time frame.

Upon successful submission of a request application, a consumer/employer or consumer representative may request a user name and password to access the registry independently to generate a list of names.
