Application for registration

10: Acceptance of application

You could also call this:

“How the Registrar checks and approves your application to become an auctioneer”

When you apply to be registered as an auctioneer, the Registrar will check your application. If you’re applying as an individual, the Registrar will make sure you’re not disqualified from being registered. If a company is applying, the Registrar will check that the company and everyone involved in running it are not disqualified.

If your application is okay, the Registrar will put your name on the list of registered auctioneers. They will do this as soon as they can. The Registrar will also give you a certificate that shows you’re registered. This certificate will have a special number just for you and will show the date you became registered.
