Apply for registration

This tool is for doctors to identify your correct application and will give you guidance on the steps you need to take. There are different ways to apply for registration with a licence to practise in the UK. It depends on your qualification and experience.

When you know which application is right for you, you’ll need to use GMC Online to make your application. The guidance will help to make sure you make the correct application and give us all the information we need. By doing this, we'll be able to process your application more efficiently.
