`<SignUp />` component

The <SignUp /> component renders a UI for signing up users. The functionality of the <SignUp /> component is controlled by the instance settings you specify in the Clerk Dashboard, such as sign-in and sign-up options and social connections. You can further customize your <SignUp /> component by passing additional properties at the time of rendering.

Note

The <SignUp/> and <SignIn/> components cannot render when a user is already signed in, unless the application allows multiple sessions. If a user is already signed in and the application only allows a single session, Clerk will redirect the user to the Home URL instead.

app/page.tsx

import { SignUp, useUser } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default function Home() {
  const { user } = useUser()

  if (!user) return <SignUp />

  return <div>Welcome!</div>
}

Customization

To learn about how to customize Clerk components, see the customization documentation.

If Clerk's prebuilt components don't meet your specific needs or if you require more control over the logic, you can rebuild the existing Clerk flows using the Clerk API. For more information, see the custom flow guides.
