`<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.

Properties

All props are optional.

Name

One common use case is to collect custom information about the user during the sign-up process and store it in this property. Read more about unsafe metadata.

Usage with frameworks

The following example includes basic implementation of the <SignUp /> component. You can use this as a starting point for your own implementation.

Next.js

React

Remix

Astro

The following example demonstrates how you can use the <SignUp /> component on a public page.

If you would like to create a dedicated /sign-up page in your Next.js application, see the dedicated guide.

app/page.tsx

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

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

  if (!user) {
    return <SignUp />
  }

  return <div>Welcome!</div>
}

/src/sign-up/[[...index]].tsx

import { SignUp } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

const SignUpPage = () => <SignUp path="/sign-up" />

export default SignUpPage

app/routes/sign-up/$.tsx

import { SignUp } from '@clerk/remix'

export default function SignUpPage() {
  return (
    <div style={{ border: '2px solid blue', padding: '2rem' }}>
      <h1>Sign Up route</h1>
      <SignUp />
    </div>
  )
}

pages/sign-up.astro

---
import { SignUp } from '@clerk/astro/components'
