Validity of documentation

The following documents must be valid at the time of applying for registration:

• Your certificate of good standing - valid for a period of three months.
• An original typed and signed laboratory report with Hepatitis C and HIV serological status; and evidence of Hepatitis B immunity, or HBV serological status.*
• Your English language results - a pass in an English test is only valid for two years.
• Any overseas registration certificate, if this has an expiry date.

*Please note that the report must be less than three months old at the time of receipt.   The only exception to this is that past evidence of hepatitis B immunity (absence of surface antigen with a surface antibody of ≥ 10 IU/L), from a laboratory listed above, will be accepted.

If any of these documents are no longer valid, you will be required to provide a new copy with your registration application.
