We would like to thank the 53,300 registrants who have now successfully completed their 2021 registration renewal.

However, NMBI recognises that the latest wave of the Covid-19 pandemic is severely impacting our registrants and we have taken a decision to extend the registration deadline from 31 January 2021 to 28 February 2021.

We hope this will allow our nurses, midwives and all our registrants more time to complete the new renewal process which takes longer this year as we are collecting new information from each registrant.

We continue to wish our registrants well as many of you continue to deal with the fallout from the latest spike in cases from the pandemic.

NMBI recognises that some registrants have had difficulties with this new renewal process. With that in mind NMBI has issued 29,000 individual emails to those who haven’t renewed their registration yet. (If you have completed your renewal, you can ignore the email.)

The email we sent you provides your temporary login and password to begin the process (the same details we sent you by post in early December). We highly recommend that you copy and paste these credentials from the email.

Renewing your registration on MyNMBI will take about 15 minutes to complete as we are collecting additional data to allow NMBI and our education stakeholders to plan for the future of healthcare in Ireland.

As well as a video, a step-by-step PDF guide and a list of answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are also available. Thank you for your feedback.

You can view all three as follows:

• Video showing each step and how to complete it by clicking here
• Step by step guide by clicking here
• Answers to FAQs are available by clicking here

If you are still having difficulty, please email regservices@nmbi.ie and we will respond to your query as soon as possible. To help us to handle your email efficiently, please provide the following information:

• Your Name
• Your Personal Identification Number (PIN)
• Detailed description of your query or issues you are experiencing
• Please send your email to regservices@nmbi.ie only (please do not send to multiple inboxes) to allow our staff to answer your query in the shortest timeframe possible.

We are constantly listening to feedback from our registrants and many have found our guides very helpful when completing their renewals. We do recommend registrants view the video before beginning the process.

Once again NMBI wishes all our registrants well in the difficult weeks ahead.
