An application for registration made after the transitional period shall be made to the Registrar in writing F1... and signed by the applicant and accompanied by the fee prescribed by paragraph 1 of Schedule 2.

The report given under paragraph (2)(b) shall be given by the applicant’s medical practitioner, who must not be related to the applicant by F3birth, marriage or civil partnership and must have known the applicant for a period of at least four years; but if the Registrar is satisfied that because these conditions cannot be met, no such report can be given, the Registrar may satisfy himself as to the mental and physical health of the applicant (so far as he considers it necessary to do so having regard to any other information available under Rule 5(2) or examination required under Rule 5(3)) by a report given by a registered medical practitioner who, in giving the report, relies on the medical records of the applicant made by registered medical practitioners of whom the applicant was a patient (or by partners of such practitioners) for a period in aggregate of at least four years.
