A registrant may apply for Life Registration with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (the College) if the Registrant is in good standing, has been registered to practise naturopathy in Ontario for 25 years, and has retired from the practise of naturopathy. This status may be granted by the College to a registrant in recognition of their long-standing role in the profession.

Registrants granted this recognition are publicly identified by the addition of their status after their ND designation, appearing as Naturopathic Doctor (Retired), Naturopath (Retired), ND(Ret), Docteur en naturopathie (Retraité), Naturopathe (Retraité), or DN (Ret). If a Life Registrant was registered in the General class prior to being awarded this status, the registrant is required to retain enduring Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) coverage in the amount listed in the by-laws, for at least five years after ceasing to practise the profession.
