The separation comes after a number of critical incidents and independent reports, which the NMC said confirmed that arrangements for midwives were not appropriate for public protection.
Jackie Smith, NMC Chief Executive and Registrar, said: "I'm pleased to see these important changes finally take effect.
"I have maintained for a long time that our legislation in his area was out of date and in need of reform.
"These changes will, for the first time, ensure that we are fully responsible for all aspects of the regulation of midwives helping to ensure safe and effective practice, with regulation of midwifery that is proportionate, fair and focused on public protection."
New models of supervision have been developed in each of the four UK countries. These will help to ensure that midwives retain the things about supervision which they most value.
The NMC has established a midwifery panel, which will provide advice on key midwifery issues.
It also secures advice on midwifery and maternity matters through task groups and listening events, as well as through the work Professor Mary Renfrew, who is leading on developing new midwifery education standards.
