Foreign-Trained Doctor Registration Certificate Licence Fees / Charges

Doctors who trained outside Kenya — whether from East African Community (EAC) countries or further afield — must register with the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) before practising. Requirements and fees differ depending on country of training and whether the applicant is a Kenyan citizen.

Fee Summary Table

Category	Licence	Fee (Ksh.)
Non-Kenyan, East African Community	General Practice Licence	35,000

Figures reflect KMPDC's published non-citizen practice-licence rates. Foreign-trained doctors must also pass KMPDC's prescribed examination and submit a Certificate of Good Standing from their country of training.
