Foreign-Trained Specialist Registration Certificate Licence Fees / Charges

Specialist doctors who trained or practised outside Kenya must register with the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) at the specialist grade, which carries a higher fee than general practice registration, reflecting the additional verification involved in confirming specialist qualifications.

Fee Summary Table

Category	Licence	Fee (Ksh.)
Non-Kenyan, East African Community	Specialist Practice Licence	45,000
Non-Kenyan, outside EAC	Temporary Licence (pending full registration)	20,000

Figures reflect KMPDC's published non-citizen specialist practice-licence rates. Confirm the current schedule on the KMPDC portal, as specialist registration also requires additional credential verification, often including a Certificate of Good Standing and proof of specialist qualification recognised by KMPDC.
