Application for
REINSTATEMENT OF CHARTERED STATUS		

Re-instatement of lapsed Chartered Geologists

A Chartered Geologist whose title has been lapsed for less than three years due to failure to pay the annual fee or by being removed for whatever reason from the register of Chartered Geologists (R/FP/9) and who wishes to apply for revalidation shall complete a ‘Request for Reinstatement’ form (available from the Society’s web 
site), submit CPD records for all years covering the lapsed period and pay a reapplication fee of £250. The form will provide details of their relevant professional experience and continuing professional development during the lapsed period and will be reviewed by the Chartership Committee.

Where status has lapsed for more than three years, no re-instatement is allowed and a completely new application for Chartership status must be submitted and a full Professional Interview carried out.

The designation FGS, which in the case of most applicants re-applying to become CGeol may also
be lapsed (but upon which CGeol status depends), should be similarly reinstated at the closest possible OGM.
It should be noted that the re-application fee would not apply in instances where a Fellow has given prior notice to the Society of their intention to undertake any form of career break (maternity, ill health etc)

At the discretion of Council a former Chartered Geologist who has been removed from the Register under the Disciplinary Procedures (R/FP/6) may apply for revalidation subject to the process set out at R/FP/6 section 6.
In exceptional cases when a Chartered Geologist has let their Chartership lapse they may be readmitted on recommendation of the Executive Secretary, who shall have consulted the Chartership Officer, and subject to the approval of the Secretary for Professional Matters. All exceptions recommended for acceptance or refusal
will be reported to the next meetings of the Chartership Committee and Professional Committee. The Professional Committee, Chartership Committee and Council may overturn and reverse any decision taken by the Professional Secretary and any fee if paid will be refunded and the applicant informed within 14 days of the Committee’s or 
Council’s decision.
