Post-registration FAQs

As a registered teacher you can check your renewal expiry by logging in to your My Registration  account. 

The Teaching Council will also issue a renewal reminder email prior to the renewal date to the email address held on your record. For this purpose, it is important to ensure that your contact details, email, mobile number and address are always up to date to avoid missing any important correspondence. 

If you have condition(s) of registration expiring within six months of your renewal date and/or if you have been requested to complete re-vetting, you will not be able to renew your registration until you address these requirements.  

Failure to address these requirements may result in removal from the Register.

You can access your e-receipt and e-Card on the My Registration section of the Council’s website.

If you experience any issues when completing your renewal application online, please take a screenshot of the error message received and email to renewals@teachingcouncil.ie and we will support you through the process. 

Note: In some cases, teachers are experiencing issues when trying to update their employment details when carrying out the renewal application process. We are investigating this issue, however, if you experience this, please continue with your application to renew without updating your employment. Once you have successfully completed the renewal process, you can then log in to your My Registration account and update your employment details there.

If you no longer have access to this email address, you will have to update your username by emailing myreghelp@teachingcouncil.ie. Please include your Teaching Council registration number, old email address and new email address in your email.

The average processing times for extension requests are 4 – 8 weeks from the date of receipt of the application and all required documentation.

You are required to complete one cluster meeting per term, specific to your sector and sequentially for the duration of your Droichead process.  You must complete Cluster Meeting 1 (CM 1) before engaging in Cluster Meeting 2 (CM 2) and Cluster Meeting 3 (CM 3). Cluster meetings are scheduled and facilitated by the Oide Droichead Induction Division. Further information can be found on www.oide.ie.

c) Click ‘Submit’.

The deadline for submitting Form D is Friday, 27 June 2025 for post-primary teachers and Friday, 25 July 2025 for primary teachers.  

You may submit your Form D once you have completed the minimum 60 consecutive teaching days (primary)/200 hours (post-primary) and all the other Droichead requirements. It should be noted that these are absolute minimum periods of practice. Given that Droichead, as an induction framework, is designed to provide the maximum degree of support, guidance and advice, it is recommended, where an NQT has additional time in his/her school over and above the minimum requirements, that extra time be used to support the Droichead process. 

Please note that if you are in a job-share or part-time position, you will be required to remain on the process until the end of the academic year. 

If you are having any issues downloading/uploading your form, please contact conditions@teachingcouncil.ie.
