Proof of registration

This section explains how we provide proof of your registration as a doctor, physician associate or anaesthesia associate in the UK. 


If your application for registration is successful, we’ll email you a link to your personal entry on our online registers.

Your online entry will provide real-time validated information about your registration status and history. You can share the link with employers and others to demonstrate your registration status. They’ll also be able to search our online registers using just your name or GMC number.

We stopped issuing registration certificates on 26 September 2024 as our online registers are secure, reliable and holds the most up-to-date information about an individual's registration status and history, as well as any fitness to practise history.
