You must send your application for registration to the Registrar or the Electrical Workers Registration Board. You need to use the form required by the Board and include the information and documents they need. You also need to pay the prescribed fee if there is one. You can send your application to the Registrar, but they will pass it on to the Board to consider under section 40. If your application is to be considered by the Electrical Workers Registration Board under section 61, you can send it to them directly. The Board will look at your application and decide what to do with it.
