  1. Starting at the top of the flowchart: "Read our guidance" (Applicant action).
  2. Downward arrow to: "Apply online, attaching your evidence" (Applicant action).
  3. Downward arrow to: "Once we've received your application, we aim to assess it within 5 working days" (GMC action).
  4. Downward to a decision point: "Further evidence required?" with two outcomes.
    • If "No," a direct arrow leads to "Application complete" (GMC action). This is list item 5 in the numbered list.
    • If "Yes," an arrow points down with steps to follow below. These steps can loop back from the final item in this lettered sublist if more evidence is required:
      1. Receive an email telling you the evidence you need to provide (Applicant action).
      2. Downward arrow to: "Gather your documents and scan them as one PDF file" (Applicant action).
      3. Downward arrow to: "Email scanned documents as soon as possible" (Applicant action).
      4. Downward arrow to: "Once we've received your documents, we aim to assess them within 5 working days" (GMC action).
      5. Downward to a repeat of the decision point: "Further evidence required?"
  5. From the "Application complete" box, a downward arrow leads to: "We send you an invite to complete an ID check" (GMC action).
  6. Downward arrow to: "Did you already complete an ID check when you took the PLAB 2 test?" (Applicant action), which leads to a decision point.
    - If "Yes" an arrow points right to "Grant registration" (GMC action)
    - If "No" an arrow points down to "We send you an invite to complete an ID check" (GMC action)
  7. Downward arrow to: "Complete an ID check within 3 months of our invitation email" (Applicant action), which leads to a decision point.
    1. If the ID check is not completed within 3 months, an arrow points right to: "Application closed if ID check is not completed within 3 months" (GMC action), leading to: "A brand new application must now be submitted" (Applicant action).
    2. If the ID check is completed within 3 months, an arrow points  to: "Grant registration, if we can verify your ID document" (GMC action).

The flowchart includes a key where a light blue colour indicates an action by the "Applicant" and a dark blue indicates an action by the "GMC". The GMC's actions are framed in rectangles and decision points are in circles. The decision points are connected by orange lines to denote the path back to previous steps if additional evidence is required.

The flowchart is repeated below for reference.
