Veterinary surgeons
In order to maintain their registration, veterinary surgeons must annually:
- Pay a retention fee – by 31 March
- Confirm their registration details, including address – which should ideally be a work address
Registered veterinary surgeons will be sent a ‘Renewal of Registration’ letter each year which outlines what information we hold about you, and how to pay your fees. From 2011, it will be possible to confirm your registration information and CPD compliance, and pay your fees, online.
If you have any questions about renewing your registration and paying your fees online, you may find the answers on our frequently asked questions page.
Registered veterinary nurses
Annually, registered veterinary nurses must:
- Pay an annual fee – by 1 November
- Confirm their registration details, including address – which should ideally be a work address
Registered veterinary nurses will be sent a ‘Renewal of Registration’ letter each year which outlines what information we hold about you, and how to pay your fees.
Listed veterinary nurses
Listed veterinary nurses need only pay an annual fee – by 1 November each year. They will be sent a letter outlining what fees due each year.
NB for all categories of listing or registration: even if you do not receive a letter notifying you of fees due, it is your responsibility to ensure that you pay the correct amount by the deadline.
Many hundreds of veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses fail to update their address details with us each year, so the fee notices are sent to the wrong address. Although we will make efforts to contact those who do not return their fees on time, ultimately, you could be removed from your respective Register/List.
