Frequently asked questions
Can I sell items to EMR?
We welcome all customers, whether you are a business or member of the public. You don’t need an appointment to visit our sites, just call in!

What ID do I need to sign up for an account?
You need in-date photo ID and proof of address to sign up. The easiest option is a UK driving licence, as it works for both types of ID.

If your address changes, update your account by providing your new ID and proof of address.
How do I get paid?
