Reinstating your membership

If your membership expired less than 9 months ago, you can easily reinstate it online by accessing the 'Billing' tile.

If it’s been more than 9 months, please reach out to Membership Services at +44 (0)20 7665 2227 or email [email protected] to settle any outstanding fees and reactivate your membership. Keep in mind that a reinstatement fee will apply after 30 November to cover additional administrative work required to maintain your membership and registration.

If you have been absent from the ICE membership roll for between 12 months and three years, you will need to provide evidence of your activities during this time.

You can do this by sending the following documents to [email protected].

• A re-admission to membership application form
• A CV, including the period you have not been a member
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) records: Personal Development Record (PDR) for the last three years and Development Action Plan (DAP) for the next 12 months – our CPD guidance has more information
• A statement of no more than 500 words explaining why your membership ceased

We will review your submission, and if there is insufficient information to make a decision, we may request additional details or ask you to attend an interview. The interview allows ICE to evaluate your qualifications against the required attributes or standards for your membership grade.

If your application is approved you will be re-admitted on payment of the necessary fees.

If you want to apply for a higher grade you can apply directly if you wish. If you are successful in applying for a higher grade, you will still have to pay a reinstatement fee together with the appropriate:
