Renewal Procedure

Annual registration is a requirement for every listed interpreter regardless of their status on the Register.

This takes place annually in the month that the interpreter was first admitted (for example if an interpreter is admitted in July 2005 then they must renew their listing annually in July of each year). Forms for annual registration will be sent out approximately five weeks prior to the month of renewal.

Renewal Procedure for lapsed listings

An interpreter who lets their registration lapse by not renewing their registration within the following time frames must apply as a new applicant (i.e. complete a new application form, submit the names of 2 referees, submit the new application fee etc) in order for their reinstatement to be considered:

• Full status after 5 consecutive years of being lapsed.
• Others, after 3 consecutive years of being lapsed [If you have passed your deadline to upgrade then please contact us to discuss what you will need to provide in order to re-instate your registration]

Note: If an interpreter wishes to reinstate their registration after 6 months of being lapsed but within the above time frames they must pay a re-admission fee together with the annual registration fee.
