92: Applications for registration

You could also call this:

"How to apply to be registered as an electrical worker"

If you want to become registered under this part of the law, you need to follow these steps:

You must send or give your application to the Registrar. Sometimes, you might need to send it to the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board instead, if they need to look at it under section 114.

Your application needs to be in the right form. If there's a special form you have to use, you must use that. If not, you should use the form that the Board asks for.

You need to include all the information and papers that the Board wants. You also need to pay any fees that are required.

If you send your application to the Registrar, they will pass it on to the Board. The Board will then look at your application under section 95.
