The criminal record check fee is $28 and there is a mandatory re-check for criminal records every five years. Therefore, BCCOHP collects one fifth of the CRC fee ($5.60) each year at annual renewal.
This is the amount charged by the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, not BCCOHP, to complete a criminal record check.
There is a five-year mandatory re-check for criminal records. Every year, you are charged a fifth of the criminal record check fee. On the fifth year when your re-check is due, your criminal record check will be automatically resent to the government.
For new applicants and former oral health professionals applying for reinstatement, a fee of $28 will need to be paid for your criminal record check. Existing registrants will pay $5.60 per year during annual renewal. BCCOHP collects the money and submits payment to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General on an applicants’ behalf.
Although BCCOHP will be sending your criminal record check to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General on your behalf, you will still be responsible for providing information requested by the ministry, including fingerprints and adjudication. If the Ministry requires additional information, they will contact you directly.
If you are not planning to practice effective April 1, you have two options:
Non-practising
As a non-practising denturist, you will not be permitted to practise denturism. You may apply to reinstate to a practising status any time. The reinstatement process does not require a new criminal record check. A denturist who holds non-practising status is not required to have active malpractice coverage.
Note: Denturists may hold non-practising registration indefinitely but must meet the Quality Assurance Program (QAP) requirements to reinstate to practising. Denturists will also need to reactivate professional liability insurance coverage. Certificates/Letters of Standing from all jurisdictions a denturist currently hold/previously held registration(s) in may be required.
Unrenewed Registration
If you don’t renew, your registration will expire. If your registration expired and you wish to regain practising status, you must:
If you have questions or require further information, please email registration@oralhealthbc.ca.
The non-practising registration category is for denturists who can hold a registration as a full denturist registrant or limited registrant but do not plan to practise for a period of time. Non-practising denturists are not permitted to practise.
Note: As a denturist, you may hold a non-practising status indefinitely. However, if you want to regain your practising status, you must meet BCCOHP’s quality assurance requirements.
If you are resigning your denturist registration, please send your notice of resignation to registration@oralhealthbc.ca.
Please see the QA program requirements for more information.
The minimum continuous practice requirement for denturists is 675 hours per three years of active registration. If you do not meet this requirement and wish to hold practising registration, please reach out via our contact form.
The minimum continuing education requirement for denturists is 35* credits per QAP cycle. Log in to view your CE transcript. If you do not meet this requirement, you must renew as “non-practising” while you complete your CE credit requirements.
Note: If your CE requirement is incomplete and your cycle has expired, you will need to contact the Quality Assurance Department via our contact form for next steps.
The QAP cycle for denturists typically follows a one-year cycle and was previously in progress from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. To comply with the BCCOHP bylaws that came into place upon amalgamation of oral health regulatory colleges, QAP cycles must align with the calendar year. To adjust for this, the QAP cycle was temporarily changed as follows:
*As of January 1, 2025, the QAP cycle reverted to its standard one-year period, running from January 1 to December 31, 2025, returning to the previous 20 CE credit requirement.
If the CE credits you submitted are not selected for audit, your submission status will remain as “submitted” at the end of the submission day, and the credits will be added to your total CE credits for that cycle.
Information about the CE submission, CE statuses and audit process is available online.
To update information on your corporation, please complete the corporation section in the online renewal form. There will be a renewal fee per corporation.
To avoid payment for renewal of inactive corporations, you need to inform the corporation team before the renewal by contacting corporations@oralhealthbc.ca.
Full denturist registrants or limited (grand parented) denturist Registration classes can be an owner of a corporation, as stipulated under BCCOHP Bylaws 14.04 (1).
Permits are valid from the date of issue until the following March 31 and must be renewed for the next fiscal year starting on April 1.
You will be prompted to renew your HPC permit(s) at the conclusion of your renewal process and the appropriate fee(s) will be included on your invoice.
Reinstatement after your registration has expired requires completion of a reinstatement application process and a reinstatement fee. You must meet the Quality Assurance requirements for continuing education and continuous practice.
