Tell us you do not want to renew your practising certificate or registration

Updated February 2024

Step by step guide

Get ready

• You must tell us if you don’t want to renew your practising certificate (PC) or registration. We will then revoke your PC or registration on or after 1 November.
• If you are not sure if you need to renew your PC, please read our guidance first.
• For solicitors, your name will automatically remain on the roll. You will then have two choices:
  1. If you want to continue being on the roll, you will then need to apply each year and pay a fee when we contact you.
  2. If you do not want to remain on the roll, you can ask to be removed.

How to apply

• Log into mySRA.
• Go to My Profile, then click on Practising Status.  
• Change your practising status to ‘I do not need a practising certificate/registration’.
