MyGDCUpdating your details
Let us know as soon as there are any changes to your registered details. This includes changes to contact details or your name, as well as your bank details if you pay the annual retention fee by Direct Debit.
You can normally make payment updates or changes to your address or contact details through your online account.
You can let us know of any name changes by completing the Notification of change of name form.
Keeping us up to date is vital. If we don't have your correct address or email contact details our communications may not reach you, and you could miss out on important GDC requests and updates.
No longer working in the UK
You may remain registered even if you are not working, but please bear in mind your CPD cycle continues regardless of your employment status, as your cycles are set by the date of your first registration.
You may wish to apply for voluntary removal if you have ceased practising or if you are retiring. If you remove your name from the register, you can apply to restore it at a later time.
Complete this form you would like to be removed from the register and are not currently subject to fitness to practise proceedings.
If you are going to work abroad, you may need a certificate of current professional status from us.
Registering another DCP title
If you are already registered and have since qualified in another area, you can request the relevant dental care professional title to be added to the register for a £12 fee.
Please log in to your account to apply for an additional title. There is no additional annual retention fee for any extra DCP titles you have.
I registered through experience, how can I add my new qualification to the register?
If you joined the register under the verified competency route and you have now gained a recognised qualification, you can add this to the register.
Please email registration@gdc-uk.org with a certified copy of your new qualification certificate along with a covering letter confirming your full name and registration number. Alternatively, send to:
