This section contains information that will be useful if you're already registered in New Zealand, or if you've been registered in the past and are intending to return to practice here.

In some circumstances you can be restored to the medical register if your registration has been cancelled. This page outlines how to apply to be restored to the register.

How you apply for a practising certificate will depend on whether or not you are already registered in New Zealand, if you have worked in New Zealand before, and how long it has been since you last practised. If you already hold a practising certificate, please see our page on renewing your practising certificate instead.

In some circumstances you can be restored to the medical register if your registration has been cancelled. See this page to check whether you are eligible for restoration to the register, and how to apply.
