What do I do if I forget my username or password?
You can use the ‘Forgot username’ or ‘Create/Reset password’ facilities and you will receive an email, to the address we hold for you on our database, with a link to detailed instructions.
Please note that these facilities are only functional if we hold a valid email address for you.
For your own security, staff at the RCVS do not have access to your password so you will need to use the 'Create/Reset password' facility.
If in doubt you can contact the Registration Department on 020 7202 0707 or [email protected].
