Arts therapist renewals
The deadline for art therapists, art psychotherapists, drama therapists and music therapists to renew their registration was 31 May 2022. If you have accidentally missed the deadline to renew, please use our short readmissions process to apply for readmission to the Register.

As well as readmission info, the page above contains information that will resolve account login issues and activation issues.
Other issues
If you're encountering an issue relating to a matter besides readmission, please see below for information on how to resolve it during the bank holiday.
Renewals issues
-
If you've renewed your registration - you've made your declaration and your renewal fee has left your bank account - but the online Register doesn't show your new registration dates, please don't worry.
This is because our records don't update instantly, and require some processing time. All successful renewals will be processed on the first day of the new registration cycle, before the end of the day. There will be no time during which you will be unregistered.
For arts therapists, the new registration cycle begins on 1 June 2022.
