Restoring your name to the register

If you're no longer registered and you would like to practise in the UK again, you will need to apply for restoration to the register. You may have been removed from the register due to working abroad, taking a career break, or not completing your annual renewal.

How long will restoration take?

We endeavour to assess your application to be restored to the register within 15 working days from the date we receive it. However this timeframe can increase during peak processing times in January/February and August/September, and delays can also occur if the form is not completed correctly, necessary supporting evidence has not been supplied, and/or if there are any concerns raised within your application which will require us to assess it further before we can register you.
