The Veterinary Surgeons and Veterinary Practitioners (Registration) Regulations Order of Council 2003

7.  Not later than 14th March in each year the registrar shall send to the register address of every veterinary surgeon and veterinary practitioner whose registration will expire on 31st March in the same year, and who has not at that date paid the retention fee, the appropriate notice for the retention of a name in the register with the fee payable and a warning that failure to pay such fees entails removal from the register or supplementary veterinary register, as the case may be, of that person’s name. Non-receipt of the notice by a veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner shall not affect the authority to remove a name from the register, nor shall it constitute a ground for retention or restoration without payment of the appropriate fee. The notice shall also contain the data held by the College in respect of that person and request that the veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner concerned should send the registrar any correction to ensure that the data held is accurate.
