Please note the following:
- Practitioners are advised that Certificates of Status (COS) will be issued within 10 working days from date of request provided that payment is reflecting on the HPCSA account.
- If you are visiting the HPCSA to request a Certificate of Good Standing/Status, your request will only be finalised once we have received clearance from our legal department, therefore no certificate will be issued on the same day of submission of request.
- The Departments of Legal Services and Registrations will however strive to issue the certificates as quickly as possible and will therefore phone walk in clients to collect as soon as the certificates are printed.
