Updated by SPC

You may apply for a new PC if you have met the CPE requirements and do not have any outstanding fines.

Upon meeting the prevailing requirements, you may wish to apply for a new PC. Please prepare the documents before you submit an application.


  1. Log in to the SPC PRS to submit an application.


  2. If you are working or have worked overseas, a Certificate of Good Standing (CGS) issued by the respective Pharmacy Council(s) where you practise or have been practising prior to your application will be necessary. Please note that the original CGS must not exceed 3 months from its date of issue when presented with your application. It must also be sent to the SPC directly by the overseas councils / licensing authorities. Please note that CGS submitted by the applicant will not be accepted by the SPC; and


  3. If you are not in practice, please submit a letter of declaration to declare that you have not been in practice since the expiry date of your PC.


Subject to complete submission of all documentation and fee required, the average processing time of an application for PC is about 3 weeks. Longer processing time may be required when the case is more complex or when the SPC is experiencing a peak period.
