Returning to the Register
If you have been off the Register for more than three months and would now like to return, then you can apply for re-instatement. If it is a while since you were on the Register, you should be aware that being registered means:
- You will be able to use the letters of accreditation RPST (Registered Public Service Translator) after your name
- Public services across the UK understand that the National Register provides a guarantee of competence and accountability. Many will only use Registered Interpreters
- Your details will appear on our public register where potential clients can find your details and contact you direct for work, or can confirm your registration (over 2,500 organisations currently registered to search the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI) and many of these will be also make use of the National Register of Public Service Translators (NRPST)
- You will receive a unique URL which links directly to your online record: use to promote your professional skills
- You will receive regular updates from NRPSI Ltd (for both NRPSI and NRPST Registrants) on the profession and maintaining your standards
Note, however, that a re-instatement fee will be added to our standard renewal fee and you should also be aware that our criteria for registration may have changed since you were last on the Register.
