Part 21A: Information about people with significant control — CHAPTER 2A: Duty to notify registrar of persons with significant control and ID verification

A company must give a notice to the registrar if—

it knows or has cause to believe that a person has become a registrable person or a registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company, but
it has not yet had confirmation as mentioned in section 790LA(1).

The notice must state—

the matters mentioned in paragraph (a) and (b) of subsection (1), and
the date on which the company first knew or had cause to believe that the person had become a registrable person or a registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company.

A notice under subsection (1) must be given within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the company first knows or has cause to believe that the person has become a registrable person or a registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company.

Nothing in this section requires a company, on its incorporation, to give a notice in relation to a person included in the statement of initial significant control under section 12A.
