The annual renewal fee to remain on the RCVS Register of Veterinary Surgeons is now due.

The standard annual fee has increased to £431 from last year’s £418, which is due for payment on or before Wednesday 1 April 2026.

RCVS Treasurer Tshidi Gardiner MRCVS, said: “This is a small increase in our fees largely in line with current inflation levels.

"The unique set-up of the RCVS means it remains good value for money compared to other professions where separate fees would have to be paid to a regulator and royal college.

“The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development.”

The Privy Council also approved a further 3% increase in the annual renewal fee for 2027/28.
