According to the South African Nursing Council, SANC, the Annual Practising Certificate, APC is a document (issued on payment of an annual fee) to nursing and midwifery practitioners.
Every registration certificate issued by the Council is proof that the person to whom it is issued is registered in the capacity indicated on the certificate for a period of 12 months from the date on the certificate. Thereafter, the practitioner must pay an annual fee and be issued an Annual Practising Certificate in order to continue to practise in that capacity.
The APC then serves as proof of registration for all qualifications appearing thereon.
