Watch for Registration Renewal Materials in September
Watch your mailbox or your email inbox for registration renewal information next month. If you are a new registrant or renewed online last year, you’ll receive a postcard from the College with information about the 2010 renewal and an email with a link to the online renewal form by mid-September. Others will receive a paper package through the mail about the same time. If you have not received yours by end of September, contact the College.To allow sufficient time for data entry and the processing of more than 12,000 registration applications before the end of the year, an administrative deadline of November 15, 2009 has been set for the return of your renewal form and payment of fees. A late fee will apply to any renewal received after the November 15, 2009 administrative deadline. The $50 late penalty ($52.50 including GST) is in addition to the registration renewal fee payable by the member. A certificate of practice will not be issued until all fees and penalties are paid.
If your email address or postal address have changed within the past 12 months please ensure you have reported it to the College so we are sending the information to the correct address. Outdated addresses cost both time and money and result in delays in you receiving your renewal information. Report address changes via email to registration@crnm.mb.ca. Simply tell us your name, registration number and your old and new address information.
