Quick answer
To request a replacement licence copy, prepare NNC registration number, citizenship or passport, old licence copy if available, loss or damage explanation, confirm the current process with the responsible professional council, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Nurses or midwives whose NNC licence is lost, damaged or unreadable
- Applicants who need to request a replacement licence copy using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship certificate or passport matching the professional record
- □ NNC registration number
- □ citizenship or passport
- □ old licence copy if available
- □ loss or damage explanation
- □ Official online application, profile or certificate-service reference
- □ Official fee voucher or digital payment receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the responsible professional council is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across NNC registration number, citizenship or passport, old licence copy if available, loss or damage explanation.
- Use the council's licence-copy service, explain the loss or damage truthfully, and complete any identity or original-record verification.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched NNC registration number, citizenship or passport, old licence copy if available, loss or damage explanation
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- A replacement licence should match the official register; informal recreated cards or edited scans are unsafe and may be rejected.

The decision point most applicants miss
Confirm whether you need a duplicate physical licence, certified registration evidence, renewal, or a data correction.
After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
