This is something i used in one my projects long back hopefully it should help out the others googling this problem .

class SignUpForm(forms.ModelForm):
    first_name = forms.CharField(max_length = 30)
    last_name = forms.CharField(max_length = 30)
    username = forms.CharField(max_length = 30)
    password = forms.CharField(widget = forms.PasswordInput)
    password1 = forms.CharField(widget = forms.PasswordInput)
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        exclude = ['user']

    def clean_username(self): # check if username does not exist before
        try:
            User.objects.get(username=self.cleaned_data['username']) #get user from user model
        except User.DoesNotExist :
            return self.cleaned_data['username']

        raise forms.ValidationError("This user exist already choose an0ther username")



    def clean(self, *args , **kwargs):
        super(SignUpForm).clean(*args ,**kwargs) # check if password 1 and password2 match each other
        if 'password1' in self.cleaned_data and 'password2' in self.cleaned_data:#check if both pass first validation
            if self.cleaned_data['password1'] != self.cleaned_data['password2']: # check if they match each other
                raise forms.ValidationError("Passwords don't match each other")

        return self.cleaned_data
    def save(self): # create new user
        new_user = User.objects.create_user(username=self.cleaned_data['username'],password=self.cleaned_data['password1'],email=self.cleaned_data['email'])
        new_user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
        new_user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']
        new_user.save()
        UserProf =  super(SignUpForm,self).save(commit = False)
        UserProf.user = new_user
        UserProf.save()
        return UserProf
