You can look at the register during ordinary office hours where it is kept. The Registrar will give you a copy of any entry in the register if you ask for it and pay the fee. You can also get a certified copy of any entry in the register if you pay the fee. You will not be charged more than the fee that a government department can charge for giving out information under the Official Information Act 1982. The Registrar must give you the copy or certified copy when you pay the fee. This helps you access the information you need from the register. The register is available for you to look at, and you can get copies of the information in it by paying a fee.
