Lapsed more than three years, but less than five years

If you held a corporate grade membership i.e. Licentiate, Associate, Member or Fellow and your membership has lapsed for more than three years but less than five, you will need to provide additional information to demonstrate continued professional development.

To reinstate your membership, you will need to pay both a reinstatement fee as well as the current year’s membership subscription fee. If applicable, any outstanding Engineering Council back fees will also need to be paid.

However, if you previously held Engineering Council registration and your membership has lapsed for over three years, reinstatement is not possible. You will need to reapply and undergo a Professional Review to regain your registration.
