MRCGP[INT] - How to become an International Member

If you have successfully completed an MRCGP[INT]-accredited examination, you are now entitled to apply for International Membership of our College.

Only those doctors who are formally registered as International Members of the RCGP and have a Certificate of Membership are allowed to use the post-nominal designation “MRCGP[INT]”.

To apply for Membership, you will need to send us an application form for International Membership with the correct membership fee for the current subscription year ending 31 March 2010. You can pay by bank draft or credit/debit card.

Membership is for one year only and needs to be renewed on an annual basis. Our Membership Support Team contact Members by letter or email to notify them of their subscription expiry date and the new subscription fee.

Please follow the below link to the relevant pages on our website for more details:

Once you have been registered as an International Member, you will receive a Certificate of Membership, a plastic Membership Card and a Welcome Pack, which will be sent to you by post to the postal address you indicate on your Membership Application Form. Please also note that your name on the Certificate will be written exactly how you mention it in the Application Form. If you have any other documents where your name is spelt in English (travel passport, graduation or degree certificate, etc.), we would recommend that you use the same spelling of your name for consistency. If at a later stage you would like to change the spelling of your name on your Certificate and/or Card, please contact our Membership Support Team.

Registration normally takes one or two weeks or longer in busy periods, so please allow some time for us to process your application. Please also be aware that there may be postal delays.

We recommend that you send your applications by courier to Membership Support Team at the following address:
