Fees and Payments
The NSRDHDTD licence year runs from November 1 to October 31. Practising licences expire on October 31 of each year. NSRDHDTD registrants must renew their practising licence and pay the required fees each year.
For 2025, the renewal year for dental technology registrants will be prorated for the period May 1 to October 31, to align with the current NSRDHDTD 2024-2025 licencing year. Renewal will once again take place beginning in September for the 2025-2026 licencing year, which begins Nov 1, 2025.
Below is information on the fees and payment method options.

Fees
Application fees are due on submission of an application for registration/licensing. Please note: These applications are not reviewed until the application fee is paid. The balance of fees may be paid later. You will be generated a separate invoice for the remaining fees, as your application gets farther along in the process.
Payment Methods
When you submit any application form, (e.g., application for registration, renewal, or transfer from non-practising to practising), you will be informed about the accepted methods of payment. For all applications, we accept certified cheques or money orders, e-transfers, and credit card payments. When an invoice is generated, it will include further details on how to complete the methods of payment.
To ensure you are appropriately credited, you will be required to include the following information when submitting payment:
- The first name and last name of the individual who submitted the application form.
- This must match the name on the initial application (if this payment is for a first-time applicant) or the name of the NSRDHDTD registrant as it is entered in the NSRDHDTD database.
- The Invoice number that will be generated following the submission of your application.
