• REGISTRATION RENEWAL UPDATE (January 12, 2012) –

Online renewal is now open!  For more information, click here.

Non-practicing statutory declaration: As previously communicated, the CRPNBC bylaws require those applying for non-practicing status to provide a statutory declaration.  However, we have asked the Minister of Health to approve changes to the bylaws so that only an undertaking (which does not have to be notarized) is required.  We anticipate having ministerial approval by March 1, 2012, but we cannot guarantee it.  If you wish, you may use the undertaking form here instead of the statutory declaration, but you may be later required to provide a statutory declaration if ministerial approval has not been received.
