85: Registration authority may require further information

You could also call this:

"They can ask for more details when you apply to register a food business."

When you apply to register a food business, the registration authority can ask you for more information. They need this before they decide whether or not to register your business. You have to give them the information they ask for.

If you do not give the registration authority the information they ask for, your application will lapse. This means it will be cancelled if you do not supply the information within three months of their request. However, the registration authority can give you more time to provide the information if they want to.

The registration authority will decide whether to register your food business after they get the information they need from you.
