Transferring your CFPCM Certification to the UKAs an existing CFPCM Professional you are eligible to transfer this qualification to the UK if you are planning to migrate. In order to transfer your existing licence we will need the following:
We will then contact the relevant CFP certificaiton board and ask for confirmation that you are a fully paid-up member. Upon receipt of this information you will be sent a set of membership and CFP certification registration forms. It is a requirement of the Institute of Financial Planning that in order to use the CFP certification you must also be a member of the IFP and agree to abide by the code of ethics. You will therefore be required to pay an annual membership fee of £140.00 plus an annual CFP certification fee of £125.00. The CFP certification fee will be pro-rota for the first year, and then renewable annually on 1st April thereafter. In order to be able to practice in the UK market and offer Financial Planning Services, you must hold certain minimum UK qualifications, such as the Certificate in Financial Planning (Cert FP) which is administered by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII). You will not be able to use the CFP certification in the UK until you have successfully completed the Certificate in Financial Planning (Cert FP). This qualification consists of 5 separate papers, details of which can be obtained from the CII website, www.cii.co.uk or you can speak to one of their advisers on: (+44) 0208 989 8464. When you have completed the Certificate in Financial Planning we will need to see a copy of your certificate. It is only at this stage that you will be eligible to use the CFP certification in the UK. TRANSFERRING YOUR CFP CERTIFICATION OVERSEASThe Institute of Financial Planning is a member Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB). It has exclusive rights to their licensed trade marks in the UK.
