Many registrants choose to practise their profession outside the United Kingdom. If you decide to do this you can still maintain your registration with us. In fact, in some cases UK registration may be required. All registrants must ensure that your correspondence address and personal details remain up-to-date with us.
You do not have to tell us if you are planning to practice abroad. However, you may need to obtain a certificate to confirm your professional status for the purpose of practising in another jurisdiction. If you are informed of this, here are your options.
