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. It is possible to confirm your registration information, confirm CPD compliance and/or pay your fees online.
If you have not received your 'Renewal of Registration' letter, a copy of the blank template is available in the "Related Documents" box, on the right. Please return your completed 'Renewal of Registration' with your fee.
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 - don't forget you can now confirm your details and pay online.
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 are due each year, along with details of how to pay online.
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.
