Certificate of Good Standing: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain an official verification of your nursing registration status if you are moving abroad or changing employers.
A Certificate of Good Standing is an official document used to provide verification of your current registration status to other authorities or employers.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for nurses who are planning to move abroad or are in the process of changing their current employer. It serves as a formal way to prove your professional standing to new regulatory bodies or healthcare organizations in different locations.
What you get
When you successfully obtain this certificate, you receive an official verification of your registration status. This document acts as formal evidence that your professional registration is active and that you are currently in good standing with the regulatory body.
What it costs you
There is an administrative fee required to process this request. The total cost for this service is €140.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this process is not instant. It can take up to 10 working days for the verification to be processed. Because of this timeline, you must request your certificate well in advance of any deadlines set by a new employer or a foreign regulatory authority to avoid delays in your professional transition.
