The original documents will be returned immediately after verification of the photocopies submitted. If the applicant submits the application by post, he/she is required to send true copies of these documents, duly legalized/authenticated by notarization, to the Council. 2.2 The applicant should request the training institute to send us his/her transcript stating clearly the detailed breakdowns in theoretical and clinical hours of each subject.

The Council will assess the application only when all the required information and documents are provided. You should take this into account if you intend to take up employment as a registered/enrolled nurse in Hong Kong, particularly within a short period of time. 2.5 The Council does not operate a system of reciprocal registration/enrolment. It assesses each application on an individual basis in regard to the length and contents of the theoretical and clinical nurse training of the applicant. The applicant will be approved to sit for the Licensing Examination only if he/she has fulfilled the requirements of the Council.

Nevertheless, the applicant has to re-sit the failed part within one year from the date of his/her last attempt, except with the special permission of the Council and subject to such conditions as to training or instruction as the Council may impose.

Such applications for special permission should be sent to the Council within two weeks of the date of the result notification letter.
