Registered Partner

Apply to the Registered Partner Program

The Partner Registration application process is as follows:

1. Apply for a Cisco.com user ID (only if you do not already have one)
2. Provide or verify company and contact information
3. Review and accept the terms of the Indirect Channel Partner Agreement (ICPA). To become a Cisco Registered Partner, companies that do not have a direct resale agreement with Cisco are required to review and accept the terms and conditions of this Indirect Channel Partner Agreement (ICPA). This agreement applies both to resellers and to companies that do not resell, but provide professional services related to Cisco products.
4. Submit the application

Upon successful submission of your application, you should receive an automated email notification of your acceptance as a Cisco Registered Partner. This email contains additional instructions, including steps to add your company to Cisco's Partner Locator.

Direct competitors of Cisco will not be granted Cisco partnership status (Resale, Managed Services, or Outsourcing) pursuant to the Worldwide Channel Partner Program. Direct competitors may participate only as Cisco Registered Partners. Any entity that is owned or controlled by one of these competitors may not participate as a Cisco partner in the Resale, Managed Services, or Outsourcing Programs. Ownership or control is defined as 50.1% or more. Existing channel partners that are deemed by Cisco to have become competitive to Cisco, either as a result of their action or Cisco's, may have their certification revoked with thirty (30) days' notice. Such channel partners may continue to operate as Cisco Registered Partners.
