eGDCAnnual renewal and fees
Dental professionals pay a fee to register with us and an annual fee to remain on our register.
They also need to complete the Annual Renewal process each year, and to do this must do the below three actions:
1. Make an Indemnity Declaration
Registrants must declare that they have or will have indemnity appropriate to their scope of practise every year. If you are not currently practising but wish to maintain your registration you still need to make the declaration.
2. Pay the Annual Retention Fee (ARF)
The Annual Retention Fee (ARF) is the fee all registered dentists and dental care professionals must pay each year to remain on the dentists register or dental care professionals register.
3. Make a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) statement
We require all registrants to undertake continuing professional development (CPD) to maintain their registration. You should make a statement declaring the hours you have undertaken each year.
Annual Renewal Deadlines
Annual Renewal for Dental Care Professionals (DCP) takes place in the weeks leading up to 31 July and for dentists during the weeks leading up to 31 December. Registrants will receive a letter ahead of the deadline with information about how they can make their Annual Renewal.
Completing Annual Renewal
The easiest way to complete your Annual Renewal is online using eGDC.
