Applying for Voluntary Erasure

This guidance is to help doctors who want to relinquish their registration. Choosing voluntary erasure means you will not be charged an additional fee if you wish to restore your name to the Register in the future.

You can apply for voluntary erasure in two ways.

You can either:

• Log in to your MyGMC account and apply online

OR

• Download a paper application form to complete and send by post.

If you are planning on returning to our Register in the future, we recommend that you make this application online.

A link to MyGMC and a form to download are available at the end of this guidance.
