Registration
It may be necessary to register your qualification
as a nurse in other countries before working there. This may be
a lengthy process and may require an examination. Contact the registration
authority of the country in which you will be working to see what
their requirements are (address may be obtained by writing to the
records and registration department (Overseas) at the NMC).
If you trained as a nurse outside the UK and wish
to work in the UK, click
here for details on registration and other useful information
on nursing in the UK.
You may need to produce a verification of registration
from the NMC. If this is required, write to the NMC (address below)
for an application form. All verifications cost £34. This covers up to 5 verifications at the point of original request.

For those working overseas on a voluntary basis and
in countries where there is no system of nurse registration, employment
is based on UK registration (i.e. NMC). It is therefore necessary
to maintain registration whilst abroad. Contact the NMC for further
details.
It should be remembered that PREP applies to all those
nurses registered with the NMC, including those working overseas.
