How to register with MAHPC and obtain your Annual Practising Certificate (APC)

Both steps use the same MHPS account at https://mhps.moh.gov.my. Register with MAHPC first, then apply for the APC.

Deadline: MAHPC has extended the Act 774 transition period to 31 December 2026. By then, every medical physicist must be registered and hold a valid APC. Practising without both after that date is an offence under Act 774.

Part 1: Register with MAHPC

  1. Create an account in MHPS and log in.
  2. Check you’re eligible. You need a qualification recognised by MAHPC (see the Recognised Qualifications Masterlist on the MAHPC page), a related academic qualification or training, or enough knowledge, skills and practice to meet the Council’s requirements.
  3. Fill in the registration application and upload:
    • your degree or other qualification certificate, plus a transcript if you have one. These must be certified true copies (certified by a government officer, notary public or commissioner for oaths), scanned together as one PDF
    • a passport-size photo (JPEG or PNG, under 200 KB)
    • the Practice Verification Form (MAHPC/UP/BPA-01), signed by your employer or head of department, scanned with certified copies of your employment documents as one PDF
    • a Letter of Good Standing from your professional body, only if you’ve practised overseas
  4. Pay the fees: RM50 for the application when you submit, then RM100 for the registration certificate once MAHPC approves your application (log in again and pay through FPX online banking).
  5. Wait for MAHPC to verify and approve it, then download your registration certificate from MHPS.

Part 2: Apply for the APC (Practising Certificate)

  1. Log in to MHPS with the same account and select New APC/PC.
  2. Add your profession: click Add New Profession, then choose Medical Physicist, your sector and your organisation.
  3. Add your practice addresses: first your principal place of practice, then any other places you practise. If your address isn’t in the list, use the Google Form link on that screen and the MAHPC secretariat will add it.
  4. Tick the declaration and submit.
  5. Pay the fees: RM50 for the application (paid only the first time you apply) and RM200 for issuing the certificate. Civil servants may be exempt from the RM200 fee, so check with your department. Private sector applicants: wait for MAHPC to approve your application before paying. Print your receipt straight away, because MHPS only generates the official receipt once.
  6. Download your certificate: after approval, go to APC/PC Information, then Search, then download.
  7. Display it at your place of practice. The QR code on the certificate lets anyone verify it.

MAHPC’s practising certificate guide says a certificate is valid for 2 years, even though it’s called an Annual Practising Certificate. Renew it before it expires.
