Applying for an Annual Practising Certificate (APC)
You are only able to apply to renew your APC online during March and early April each year, at other times the application form must be emailed or posted to the Board. If emailing, please send as one document only.
You should allow 2 weeks for your fully completed APC application to be processed, if not applying online.
Please note: all first time APC applicants and Return to Practice APC applicants must provide evidence of a current Basic Life Support certificate (2 hour minimum) with their APC application and are therefore unable to apply online at present.
Annual Practising Certificate application form 2024-2025 (valid 1 April 2024 until 31 March 2025)
Non-practising this year?
If you wish to remain on the Register without a current APC you must pay an annual Inactive Maintenance fee. Contact the Board if you wish to be removed from the Register in order to avoid this fee.
