How long does my registration last?

The registration year runs from 1 January to 31 December. The year ends at the same point regardless of whether you are registering, transferring, restoring or retaining your registration. The fees are set at a flat rate so you need to pay the full fee whenever you join. This means that if you register in June you will still pay the full £750 if you are applying for practising registration for the first time.

Please note: you will only be registered until 31 December if you pay the retention fee for the following registration year by the statutory deadline. If you do not pay the retention fee your name will lapse from the register at the end of the retention period on 15 December.

Methods of payment

There are several ways to pay your fees. Please note that all fees must be paid before registration, restoration, transfer or retention on the register is granted.

Please note that we are no longer accepting payment by cheque.

Credit or debit card

New applicants will need to pay by card using the form here.

If you are paying for your retention you will need to login to the portal.

Direct debit

In addition to paying by credit/debit card or electronic transfer, applicants for retention on the register may also pay by direct debit for a year in advance. You can set up a direct direct in the portal once you are logged in.

It is not possible to pay the initial registration fee by direct debit.

Please note: there are different types of electronic transfer, some are immediate and others can take three working days to arrive into the General Chiropractic Council account. You will need to check with your bank first.
