Conditions of Use

ii. a South African Nursing Council certificate of registration
iii. a South African Nursing Council annual practising certificate

4. eRegister ONLY contains details of those persons currently registered. The absence of a persons name from the eRegister means that he/she has either been removed from the register or never been registered at all.

FAQs

1. Why can’t I search the eRegister by name?
The register of nurses and midwives has a very high incidence of duplicate names. Particularly in cases where there is only one given name there can be many duplicate entries. It is therefore impossible to always get a positive match based on names alone.

2. Why does the practitioner’s ID number sometimes not display on the eRegister?
The practitioner’s South African Identity Number will ONLY be displayed if you requested the record using the ID number. To protect the person’s personal information, the practitioner’s ID number will not be displayed if you do not have access to it already.

3. Why does the eRegister sometimes display APC details for the NEXT year?
Practitioners pay annual fees for NEXT year during the period 1 July to 31 December of the CURRENT year. While the eRegister is meant to show the CURRENT status of practitioners, this information has been included so that practitioners and employers have an easy way to confirm whether annual fees for NEXT year have already been paid or not.

4. Why can’t I use a printed copy of my details as proof of registration?
Regrettably, it is possible to forge or alter the information page presented by the eRegister and to print a copy using any modern word processing program.

A copy of the details can then be printed for that person or organisation’s own records as evidence that the necessary verification has been done.
