This route to registration is only available for those with DCP qualifications. If you are relying on an overseas dentist qualification only, you will need to apply for registration using an alternative route, most likely to be the Overseas Registration Exam. Please return to the start of the Route to Registration questionnaire.

Before you begin an application please read:
Application guidance and requirements
Before you apply, please carefully review the application form and all guidance. As well as submitting a completed application form, you must also complete the Certificate of Good Standing Form and the learning outcomes form relevant to the DCP title(s) you are applying for. If you are applying to register with more than one DCP title, you will need to complete an application form and learning outcomes form for each title. See below for further guidance.
Guide to completing the learning outcomes form
We have produced a guide to help complete the learning outcomes form, and a guide on issues that often lead to refusal of an application.
Please do not email or send in additional documents after submitting your application unless you have been asked to do so by a GDC Registration Caseworker.
Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an email confirming when your application was received, and requesting payment of the relevant registration application fee. Once paid, your application will be referred to the registration casework team for processing. Applications are processed in date order.
Retain a copy of your application and all supporting documents for your own records. You will be asked if you would like us to return any original documentation only for a small fee.
Your application for registration will be assessed using the qualifications and circumstances you set out. If you have applied using the wrong application form or process, your application is likely to be cancelled, and you will need to start again.
Use our Route to Registration questionnaire to make sure you are using the right application process, or contact us if you are not sure.
