Confirm your certificate details

When you apply, we’ll ask you to check the details that will appear on your certificate.

My details are correct 

We’ll send your certificate within 15 working days of getting a recommendation from your royal college or faculty, but no earlier than ten days before your completion of training date.

My details are wrong 

Please contact your royal college or faculty to let them know. 

We can’t grant your application or give you your certificate until they have given us the correct details and a recommendation. We also can’t grant your application earlier than ten days before you complete your training.
