2025 MLSCN License Payment Deadline & How to Renew
The deadline for the payment of annual practice license for Medical Laboratory Scientists in Nigeria is March 31st of every year.
However, there are some instance that the Governing Board of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria issues an deadline extension due to the financial situation of the country at that time.
Be that as it may, if you are a practising Medical Laboratory Scientist and you are yet to pay for your annual practice license then know that today being 31st March, 2025 is the deadline and payments beyond today may attract late payment penalty of about 200 percent (except a last minute news of extension).
How to renew MLSCN 2025 Annual Practice License
To make payments for your annual practice fee, there are two methods that applies. Either you pay through remitta directly ( that’s if you don’t have a profile on MLSCN hub) or you pay from the MLSCN Hub and request for your License which will be sent to via email address in a week time. To read more on these two methods and know which of the methods applies to you, see my earlier post here.
It may interest you to know that there is a category of Medical Laboratory Scientists which the late payment penalty does not apply to them. See to know if whether you fall into this category by reading this post.
