Cancel Permit and Registration

You may cancel your registration and Practice Permit when you will no longer be practicing.

To cancel, use our Cancel Registration application. You’ll find it in our Portal at Registration Change Request.

When you cancel your registration you:

• are no longer on the Dental Assistant Register
• do not hold a Practice Permit and may not practice
• may not use the protected titles Registered Dental Assistant and Dental Assistant
• no longer have access to the Portal (print or save your receipts and competence records before you cancel)

Before you submit a cancellation request:

• ensure your employment status is up to date in the CADA Portal (for example: if your employment status shows you are employed in the dental field, and you are retiring, add an end date to your employer record, then add a new employment status record with the start date of your retirement)
• download or print any documents from the CADA Portal (for example: receipts, CCP records) that you want copies of as you won’t have access to the Portal after your registration is cancelled
• ensure you review the current registration requirements, should you choose to re-apply in the future

You must re-apply for registration and a Practice Permit before you return to practice.
