Applying for Registration as a Dentist
in the General Dental Scope of Practice
For holders of prescribed dental degrees or a pass in an appropriate dental licensing
examination
New Zealand qualified or NZDREX qualified applicants
If you hold a prescribed qualification that has been completed in New Zealand
you need to complete a registration form and return this to the Dental Council together with the necessary documentation and fees. Please contact the Dental Council for a copy of the relevant registration form. In addition, you are required
to provide three professional references (Form R001).
Holders of overseas prescribed qualifications
If you hold a prescribed qualification that has been completed outside of New
Zealand you need to firstly apply for eligibility to register. To do so you need to complete Form
ELIG005 and send this application with the required fees and
documentation to the Dental Council. In addition, you are required to provide three professional references (Form
R001). Overseas-trained practitioners are also required to read the
New Zealand Conditions of Practice Resource Book.
The Dental Council will consider your application on an individual basis. If the Council is satisfied that you are eligible to apply
for registration you will be issued with an eligibility letter, stating that you are eligible to apply for registration. To apply for
registration you are required to complete Form REG002, which will be sent to you with the letter.
The correct fees must accompany your ELIG005 and REG002 applications. Please refer to the fees schedule for current fees.
