The upcoming Fraud Prevention campaign will drive a significant number of people to the Public Register. This is a good time for licensees to check to make sure all contact information is accurate and current on the Public Register and make changes if needed. This helps protect the public from Unauthorized Practitioners (UAPs), who can use fraudulent contact information to impersonate licensees and intercept unsuspecting members of the public.
According to Section 17.1 of the By-law, licensees are required to notify the College of any changes to their contact information. To notify the College and to update the contact information shown on the Public Register, licensees can take the following steps:
- Log into the College Portal.
- Click on the "Professional Information" tab.
- Click on the "Employment" section in the menu on the left side of the page.
- Under "Current Employment," click on the "Edit" link to the right.
- Update the "Registry Phone Number" and "Registry Email" fields as necessary.
- Click "Save & Submit" at the bottom of the page.
Licensees should routinely check their contact information on the Public Register and update if necessary.
