How to Register as a Doctor in Ireland with the Irish Medical Council (IMC)

4. Submit the Required Documents

Finally, you will need to submit the required documentation, which may include:

✓ A certified copy of a valid passport, notarized by a public notary

✓ The original Certificate of Good Standing or Current Professional Status, issued within the last 3 months, which must be sent directly to the Irish Medical Council by every registration authority where you have been registered in the past five years

✓ An EPIC report confirming that you have sent your basic medical qualification to the council through EPIC

✓ An EPIC report confirming that you have sent your internship certificate to the council through EPIC

✓ Proof of communication skills sufficient for practicing medicine

✓ Evidence of appropriate professional indemnity insurance (if applicable)

We once again remind you that the required documentation depends on the eligibility group to which you belong. Therefore, be sure to review the documentation needed for your specific situation or eligibility criteria, or simply follow the list generated by the application system.

To successfully certify your documents, visit an official public notary and ensure that the document includes the date of certification, the official’s signature, and a seal. Otherwise, the council has the right to reject your documentation, which would, of course, delay the process further.

Although documentation was previously sent by mail, you can now simply scan and upload it electronically to your profile to speed up the licensing process.
