We would like to advise registrants who are completing their annual renewal of our Christmas and New Year opening hours.
The 2026 annual registration renewal window is open until 31 January 2026. To date more than 40,000 nurses and midwives have renewed their registration and we would like to thank them for completing the process. For registrants who have yet to renew, we would advise them to login as soon as possible to avoid peak times later this month.
Anyone who is having difficulties logging in or renewing online, can contact our customer care team on 0818 200 116 (+353 818 200 116 from outside Ireland) or by email at regservices@nmbi.ie. When contacting us, please provide your name, PIN number and your date of birth as this will help us deal with any query more efficiently.
Our opening times over this period can be found below.
The annual renewal process must be completed through our online portal, MyNMBI. We cannot accept annual renewal payments by phone. The portal was recently upgraded to ensure the renewal process is as user-friendly as possible. While the portal may look different, the process is the same and will only take a few minutes to complete. Your username has not changed; however, you will need to change your password to access your account.
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 2026. We highly recommend that you voluntarily remove your name from the Register rather than let your registration lapse (that is, not renew your registration on time). This will ensure that you will avoid paying increased restoration fees in the future. More information about the voluntarily removal process can be found on our website.
The annual registration renewal 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.
