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. 

• Username: 

Your username is the email address you used when creating your portal account. 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.

• Password: 

If your username is correct, but you have forgotten your password, you can create a new password by clicking ‘Forgotten password?’ via the My Registration login page.

An extension request can be submitted up to 6 months before the Condition(s) attached to your registration is due to expire. If you fail to submit an extension request, you are putting your registration at risk.

The following should be submitted as supporting documents for an extension request:

• Proof you are employed as a teacher in the Republic of Ireland.
• Proof that you have been actively applying for teaching positions that will help address your condition.
• Proof you are registered to attend a recognised course that will address your condition.

The average processing times for extension requests are 4 – 8 weeks from the date of receipt of the application and all required documentation. You can track the status of the progress of your extension request by logging in to your My Registration account, choose the ‘My Conditions’ tile and select ‘Track your Extension Request’ at the end of that page.
