The Chamber of Geologists maintains a register of its members*. All members within the Professional Geologist (GL) class are now required to include their unique membership number on all official documentation and reports. 

As geologists are the sole competent professionals qualified to assess complex ground conditions, members are expected to maintain the highest levels of industry integrity by strictly adhering to the Chamber’s Code of Professional Conduct.

This requirement applies to the following ground assessments:

• Geological Reports

• Geotechnical Reports

• Ground Investigation Reports (GIR)

• Hydrogeological Reports

• Mineral Assessment Reports

*The Chamber is unable to disclose its members' names upon public request. This information is classified as personal data under GDPR, and its release is strictly regulated to ensure privacy compliance. 

The Malta Chamber of Geologists notes several instances of unqualified individuals who are not geologists claiming to produce geological/geotechnical reports. This abusive practice directly undermines public safety. To protect the public from such abuse, the Chamber permits the public to verify that only those with the necessary professional competence are conducting these critical assessments. 

The public should follow these steps of the verification process:

1.  If you are receiving any of the above list of reports, look for the membership number.

2.  To confirm your consultant’s credentials, contact the Malta Chamber of Geologists directly by sending an email including the consultant’s full name and their provided membership number. 

3.  The Chamber will respond to your email to confirm if your consultant is a member and qualified to carry out the above assessments.
