Guidance on completing your GMC identity check

We’ve partnered with the identity provider, Digidentity, to allow applicants to complete their GMC identity check using their free and secure app (Digidentity Wallet). 

You can watch our video which explains what happens and what you need to do.

All applicants for registration, restoration, and re-entry to the registers, will have their ID verified before we’ll grant their applications. You can read more about our requirements in Doctors, PAs, and AAs: Identity verification for registration, restoration, and re-entry applicants.
