Renewal fees for vets are now due

We are reminding veterinary surgeons that their renewal fees to remain on the Register for 2014/15 are now due.

Registration renewal forms have been sent to all vets reminding them that payment to remain on the Register is due by 31 March 2014.

If we do not receive payment before 1 April, £35 will be added to the renewal fee and any vets who have still not paid before 1 June will be removed from the Register.

This year we have updated the online ‘My Account’ area to allow vets to manage their details and pay their renewal fees more quickly and easily.

Login details have been sent to all vets and the system is now operational. The changes to the area are the first phase of a project to make it more accessible and user-friendly, and to allow vets to better manage their details online.

As part of the renewal process, vets are asked to confirm that their details on the Register are correct, including membership category and correspondence details.

Those who are in the ‘UK Practising’ or ‘Practising outside the UK’ membership categories should also confirm – via the registration renewal form or the online ‘My Account’ area – that they are compliant with the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) of 105 hours over three years.

Vets with any cautions, convictions or adverse findings against them dating from 1 January 2006 onwards, should also declare them. Further details on these declarations can be found in the Registration section.

Fees can be paid by credit card through the ‘My Account’ area or by cheque, bank draft or credit card via the registration renewal form sent in the post. Details of how to pay by bank transfer are also on the form.

Vets who have any concerns or questions about renewing their registration, logging in to ‘My Account’ or who need to request a registration renewal form, can contact the Registration Department on 020 7202 0707 or email [email protected].
