305: Search of register
or “People can look up information in the official list if they follow the rules”
You could also call this:

“Rules say you can only look up information in the register using specific ways that are written in the regulations.”

You can only search the register by using specific search criteria. These criteria are set out in the regulations. The regulations tell you exactly what information you can use to search the register. This means you can’t just search for anything you want. You have to follow the rules about what you can search for.
