The ARF deadline is 31 December 2019.

In preparation for the launch of a new digital system next year NMBI is no longer accepting payments by bank draft, postal money order, electronic file transfer, personal cheques or cash.

We would ask registrants to consider paying through an alternative method.

Making it easier to pay with ‘My Account’

We strongly encourage all nurses and midwives to set up an online account through My Account.

Over 70% of nurses and midwives now use My Account to pay the ARF.

Using My Account will make the transition to a new digital system in 2020 easier for you.

When you login to pay the ARF, please ensure that all your contact details are correct.

For more information about using My Account please see our information page.

The Options for ARF Payment are:

Online

To set up an online account with the NMBI please visit our website and click into the My Account tab at the top right of the screen. When logging in for the first time, you will need to use your Personal Identification Number and the Personal Security Number previously issued to you by the NMBI.
If you have forgotten or lost this number please contact our call centre on 1890 200 116 or 01 639 8500 and select option 1. Alternatively, these will be issued to you by NMBI in your ARF notification letter.

If you have already created an online account with NMBI you are only required to use the email address and the password you already provided when you initially set up your account. There is no requirement for you to use the Personal Security Code as this is only used for first time account set up. If you have forgotten your password, please click on the "Forgotten Password" link on our website.

NMBI is no longer taking direct debits and partial payments for ARF 2020

As we are preparing to launch a new digital system next year, we are streamlining everything in advance in order to make the transition easier for registered nurses and midwives.

NMBI is no longer accepting partial payments and direct debits for the ARF 2020 payment cycle and we would ask registrants to pay through the online or phone methods.
