We should go straight to it.
How Long Does SANC Take To Issue Certificates?
SANC has 60 days (approximately two months) to process and issue certificates to registered nurses who want to practice.
This date is legally binding and the South African Nursing Council (SANC) has to make sure nurses receive their Annual Practising Certificate within 60 days after paying for registration.
Likewise, it is legal bidding for Nursing Education Institutions (NEIs) to submit applications for registration for Community Service Practitioners within 30 days following the completion of a nursing program.
The same applies to the Provincial Departments of Health for the registration of Professional Nurses following the completion of Community Service.
The 30 days for Nursing Education Institutions (NEIs) plus the 30 days for Provincial Departments of Health (PDHs) makes it 60 days for the South African Nursing Council (SANC) to have 60 days to process applications to issue certificates to candidates.
