If you hold provisional registration or permission to teach (PTT), you will have a different payment expiry date and approval expiry date. All teachers have a payment expiry date of 30 September.

If you have an approval expiry date earlier than 31 December, you will not be invoiced an annual registration fee until you have been approved for a further period of registration.

Where a fee is payable for a period less than 12 months, or between 13 and 14 months, we will calculate it on a pro rata basis.

Provisional digital card

Provisional registration is granted for a period of two years from the date of approval. Your digital registration card will either reflect the end of your two-year provisional registration or your payment expiry date - whichever comes first.

If you are provisionally registered and card expiry / the date on the register of teachers is coming up in the next three (3) months, you need to either apply for full registration or reapply for provisional registration.

Permission to teach digital card

PTT is granted for a fixed period of time, and does not have a grace period. The approval date on the register of teachers reflects the last day you can work in the approved teaching position. Your digital registration card will either reflect the end of PTT registration or your payment expiry date - whichever comes first.

If you hold PTT and your card expiry / the date on the register of teachers is coming up in the next 3 months, and a school wishes to employ you beyond this date, you and the school should begin the process of applying for a subsequent grant of permission to teach. Please refer to the latest PTT policy for eligibility requirements.

Full registration digital card

Registration application fees are charged on a pro rata basis. In general, if you apply for registration before July, your payment expiry date will be 30 September of the current year. If you apply for registration between July and December, your payment expiry date will be 30 September of the following year.
