Soon MyGDC will replace eGDC and provide an improved experience to individuals joining the register online and continuing to manage their registration on an ongoing basis.
The new service means that new applicants will complete their application online, upload supporting documents securely, verify their identity using facial recognition technology, and track the progress of their application in real time, without the need to send documents by post.
Existing registrants will use MyGDC to manage their registration, pay registration fees, complete their annual renewal and declare their CPD hours.
There are no changes to requirements and assessment standards for registration as a result of this technological change.
From 25 March, new registration applications should be submitted via MyGDC. Any applicants who started their registration application in eGDC on or before 24 March should send the required supporting documentation within three months of the application date. If their application is not completed by this date, they will need to submit a new application through MyGDC.
Service availability and registrant information
Registrants and applicants need to be aware that eGDC will be unavailable from 18:00 on 23 March while the GDC migrates its systems to MyGDC, which is expected to launch at 10:00 on 25 March. Updates on exact timings will be published on the GDC website.
Existing eGDC users will then receive an email confirming when their account has been migrated to MyGDC, with information on how to access the new service.
