Any RP who is not practicing temporarily and wishes to resign/ ‘freeze’ their SACAP membership can do so by completing a Resignation Form. Resignation forms are only issued to an RP whose account is up to date and is wishing to retire within 60 days of receiving the Annual Fees or renewal of registration invoice for the year.

Thereafter an RPs account will be ‘resigned’ (frozen) and when you start practicing again you can re-activate the account. For re-registration, please contact the Accounts Department at accounts@sacapsa.com
