Document checklist
Don't forget you will need to bring the originals of the following documents with you when you come:
-
Valid passport.
- Where applicable, name change documents e.g. marriage certificate, deed of name change, affidavit.
- DBS certificate if you have resided in the UK for a period of 3 months or longer over the age of 18.
- Original police certificates from all the countries that you have resided or practised in for a period of 12 months or more during the last 10 years (over the age of 18).
- Diploma or degree certificate.
- Where applicable, original registration or license card.
- You will need to provide a police clearance from each overseas country you have lived in for 12 months or more (in total, not necessarily consecutive) in the last ten years. These documents must have been issued after you left each country, otherwise we may ask you to get a more recent version when we assess your application. Your police clearance from the country you’re residing in at the time of your application should be issued no more than 12 months before the date you’re uploading it to your registration application. These documents may take some time to be issued depending on the local authorities responsible for issuing them, so you should make sure you understand how to obtain them and how long they may take to arrive. GOV.UK has published a helpful guide on how to obtain overseas police clearances, which may assist you with your application.
For any queries about the ID documents please contact the Nursing Midwifery Council by emailing ID.checks@nmc-org.uk
Please note - this is for applicants trained outside the European Union and European Economic Area only. If you're on the return to practice pathway, an ID check is not applicable.
