Uttarakhand Medical Council registration guide Registration types, documents, renewal and verification, as the UKMC publishes them.

To register with the Uttarakhand Medical Council (UKMC), pick your application type under Online Services on ukmedicalcouncil.org, keep scanned copies of the listed documents ready, and apply and pay on the council's portal at online.ukmedicalcouncil.org. Each service page opens with the same instruction: "Before applying, please make sure that you have arranged the scanned copy of the following documents along with a valid payment option to pay the application fee online." The site does not publish a fee table (read 31 Oct 2026); the amount is shown when you pay.

Who registers with the Uttarakhand Medical Council?

Doctors of modern medicine (allopathy) who practise in Uttarakhand. The council's About page describes it as "a Statutory Body, established by the law of the State i.e. Uttarakhand Medical Council Act 2002", and its Rules page carries the Act and the UKMC Rules, 2004. Separate permanent registration forms exist for Uttarakhand graduates, graduates of other states and foreign medical graduates.

If you are already registered in another state, a UKMC circular dated 15 Jul 2026 (Ref UKMC/2026-27/4671) settles the NOC question. It says an applicant "who is registered with any State Medical Council and seeks registration with the Uttarakhand Medical Council shall be considered for registration under the Uttarakhand Medical Council Act, 2002 on the basis of the self-declaration furnished by the applicant in the online application form." The permanent registration form for other-state graduates still lists "NOC or Registration Certificate from previous Council", so upload your existing registration certificate there.

What registration types does the UKMC offer?

The UKMC Citizen's Charter gives the time to expect. For applicants from within the state, "Registration may be collected after seven days of submission of application form." For other states, the council sends a verification letter within seven days, and "Verification usually received one to three months after sending the letter of verification to the concerned council." The charter predates the July 2026 self-declaration circular, so treat the other-state timeline as a ceiling.

What documents does UKMC permanent registration need?

For an MBBS graduate from Uttarakhand, the permanent registration page lists these scanned uploads, each JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF of up to 2 MB:

1. Recent passport-size colour photograph and a stamp-size signature (both printed on the certificate)
2. 10th or matric certificate
3. Intermediate certificate or mark sheet
4. ID proof (Aadhaar card)
5. MBBS marksheets, combined into a single PDF
6. Provisional pass certificate
7. Attempt and character certificate

Graduates of other states upload the MBBS degree (provisional or permanent) and the registration certificate from their previous council in place of the pass and attempt certificates. Foreign medical graduates also upload the screening test pass certificate, eligibility certificate, passport and visa pages, travel history and an affidavit. For the rest of the clinic paperwork, see documents required to open a clinic.

Does Uttarakhand require renewal and CME credits?

Yes, renewal is one of the UKMC's online services, and the renewal form asks for your permanent registration certificate, photograph, signature, Aadhaar and any recognised PG qualifications. The council's CME guidelines, a document headed "Draft Guidelines", say "Re-registration once in five years is mandatory" and that, to qualify, every doctor registered with the council "should produce Certificates for having attended C.M.E. programmes equal to 30 credit points conducted by organizations recognized by U.M.C." Keep your CME certificates in one folder for each five-year cycle. Our guide to medical council registration renewal and CME credits explains how CME credits are counted elsewhere.

How do I verify a doctor's Uttarakhand registration?

Use the council's "SMR Search" at online.ukmedicalcouncil.org/SearchRegNo. The Registration Verification form takes a registration number and a captcha, and the result shows the registration number and date, "Renewed Upto", date of birth, name and father's name. For a national check, the Indian Medical Register search on the NMC website lists doctors registered with state councils by name, registration number, year or council, with the note "This data is being updated." See also the National Medical Register.

Where is the Uttarakhand Medical Council office?

Office of the Director General, 2nd Floor, Room No. 67-68, Village Danda Lakhond, P.O. Gujrara, Sahastradhara Road, near Rajeev Gandhi Play Ground, Dehradun. The contact page gives 8077546220 and 0135-2608897, hours of 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday, and info@ukmedicalcouncil.org; the Registrar's email is registrar@ukmedicalcouncil.org.

Where must the registration number appear?

On prescriptions, certificates, money receipts and in the clinic. Clause 1.4.1 of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 reads: "Every physician shall display the registration number accorded to him by the State Medical Council / Medical Council of India in his clinic and in all his prescriptions, certificates, money receipts given to his patients." Clause 1.4.2 limits the suffixes after your name to recognised degrees and qualifying certificates or honours.

Vitels prints prescriptions on your own letterhead, A4 or A5, with your UKMC registration number on every page, and verifies the registration when you sign up. To set up the header first, try the free clinic letterhead maker, or see e-prescription software.
