NMBI Annual Retention Fee: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to maintain your legal right to practice as a nurse or midwife in Ireland by managing your annual retention fee.
The NMBI Annual Retention Fee is a mandatory payment required to keep your professional registration active. This process is essential for anyone who needs to maintain their professional standing within the Irish healthcare system.
Who it's for
This scheme is mandatory for all registered nurses and midwives currently working in Ireland. If you hold a professional registration in these fields and wish to continue your career within the state, you must participate in this annual renewal process.
What you get
By paying this fee, you secure your legal right to practice nursing or midwifery in the state. Maintaining an active registration is the primary way to demonstrate to employers and the public that you are legally authorized to perform your professional duties.
What it costs you
The cost for this annual renewal is €100. To complete the process, you must meet the requirements set by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland to ensure your registration remains in good standing.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is the strictness of the deadline. If you fail to pay the fee by the specified deadline, it results in your immediate removal from the professional register. Once removed, you no longer have the legal standing to practice.
How to apply
- Access the official NMBI portal.
- Log in to your professional account.
- Complete the renewal process for the current period.
- Submit the required annual fee.
