We would like to advise registrants who are completing their annual renewal of our Christmas and New Year opening hours.
The 2025 annual registration renewal window is open until 31 January 2025. To date more than 34,000 nurses and midwives have renewed their registration and we would like to sincerely thank them for completing the process.
The annual renewal process must be completed through our online portal, MyNMBI. We cannot accept annual renewal payments by phone. Renewals can be done on a mobile however, for the best experience, we recommend using a laptop or desktop.
We have developed several useful guides to assist registrants through the process. They can be found on our website.
Registrants can voluntarily remove their name from the Register of Nurses and Midwives on MyNMBI, free of charge until 31 January 2025. More information about the voluntarily removal process can be found on our website.
The annual registration fee goes towards our work to support nurses and midwives to provide the highest standards of professional practice. Through our registration, education and guidance, and fitness to practise functions we enhance the safety of service users. Further information about the work we do can be found on our website.

Important information
- All nurses or midwives practising in Ireland are required by law to have their name on the Register of Nurses and Midwives. To maintain their registration, it is necessary to pay the annual renewal fee.
- If you do not renew or voluntarily remove your registration, your name will be removed from the Register. The Board considers removals from the Register for failure to pay the annual renewal fee (Section77 (1) of the Nurses and Midwives Act 2011). Please note that notifications of removals are sent to employers, the Minister for Health and the Health Service Executive (under Section 82 of the Act).
- If your name is removed from the Register for non-payment of your annual renewal fee and you wish to restore your name to the Register, a fee of €250 in addition to your annual renewal fee will apply. You will also need to comply with the restoration requirements at the time of application.
- When completing the process, please ensure that all contact information is up to date, including address, email address and phone number. This is a legal requirement under Section 53 of the Nurses and Midwives Act, as amended.
- NMBI is legally required to maintain statistical records for research and planning purposes. As part of the renewal process, we will collect personal data which will be collected, maintained and processed in accordance with all data protection legislation.
