About 75% of veterinary surgeons have renewed their registrations so far.

Renewals paid after 30th April will incur an additional charge of £35.

Any veterinary surgeon who fails to pay by 31st May will have their name removed from the Register, making it illegal for them to practise veterinary surgery in the UK.

The annual renewal can be completed via the online ‘My Account’ area of the RCVS website, where it is possible to pay by credit or debit card. Payment is also accepted by cheque, bank transfer or draft.

If you've lost the security details needed to access the RCVS website, you should contact the RCVS Registration Department on 020 7202 0707.

The College also says that anyone who has received an annual renewal reminder letter but has set up a Direct Debit, or believes that they have already paid, should contact the RCVS Finance Department on 020 7202 0723.
