Licence renewal
What is licence renewal?
All registrants of the ºÚÁÏÉç must complete the Annual Licence Renewal Form (ALRF) and pay a renewal fee each year.
The ºÚÁÏÉç expects the registrant to complete the licence renewal process personally. It is not acceptable for registrants to ask a medical office assistant, spouse or partner to complete the form on their behalf.
Registrants who neglect to renew their licence by the February 28/29 deadline are subject to penalties and may have their registration suspended. Physicians cannot practise medicine, prescribe or charge for services rendered without being registered with the ºÚÁÏÉç.
