Section 1098C: The required information about an applicant

Companies Act 2006 · 2006 c. 46View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 35: The registrar of companies

The "required information" about the applicant, in the case of a firm that is applying to become an authorised corporate service provider, means—

firm name,
principal office,
a service address,
an email address,
the legal form of the firm and the law by which it is governed, ...
any registration number allocated to the firm in respect of its registration in a register maintained under regulation 54 or 55 of the Money Laundering Regulations, and
if applicable, any other register in which it is entered (including details of the state) and its registration number in that register.

The "required information" about the applicant, in the case of an individual who is applying to become an authorised corporate service provider, means—

name, nationality and date of birth,
a service address,
an email address, ...
the part of the United Kingdom in which the person is usually resident or, if the person is usually resident in a country or state outside the United Kingdom, that country or state , and
any registration number allocated to the individual in respect of their registration in a register maintained under regulation 54 or 55 of the Money Laundering Regulations.

In subsection (2)(a) "name" means forename and surname.

Where the applicant is a peer or an individual usually known by a title, the requirement for the application to contain their name may be satisfied by providing that title instead of the individual's forename and surname.

For the purposes of this section "Money Laundering Regulations" has the meaning given by section 1098B(8) (application to become authorised corporate service provider).

The Secretary of State may by regulations—

amend this section so as to change the required information about the applicant in the case of a firm or individual applying to become an authorised corporate service provider;
repeal subsection (4).

Regulations under this section are subject to affirmative resolution procedure.
