What’s happening
- NMC Online will close at 5pm on Friday 6 February 2026
- MyNMC will launch at 12:00 (midday) on Tuesday 10 February 2026
- There will be a 4 day period of planned downtime
- You will not be able to access your application while the system is offline
If you have an open application
What happens next depends on how far through your application you are.
If you have submitted your application form
- if you have already submitted your application form, your application will continue in MyNMC from where it left off
- your submitted information will carry across
- you do not need to resubmit anything
- your application will remain open and continue to be processed as normal
If you have started an application but not submitted it
If you have started your application but not submitted the application form, any unsubmitted information will be lost when NMC Online closes. This includes:
- saved answers
- uploaded documents that have not been submitted
- any progress that has not reached a formal submission stage
- your application will remain open, but you will need to start the application form again in MyNMC.
To avoid losing your work, you should submit your application form by Thursday 5 February 2026.
Important: saved but not submitted forms cannot be transferred into MyNMC
We can transfer an overall application into MyNMC, but we cannot transfer individual forms or stages that are incomplete.
This means:
- only submitted stages will move to the new system
- partially completed forms will not carry across
- if a form is not submitted before the downtime, you will need to complete it again after launch
If you are an overseas applicant with third-party access
If you have given third-party access to someone supporting your application:
- you will need to grant this access again in MyNMC
- if your third party is not an applicant or registrant, they will need to create a new account using the instructions sent to them by email
When MyNMC launches

- we have provided more guidance on how to log in on our website
What to do now
