16: Obligation to notify Registrar of changes

You could also call this:

“Telling the Registrar when important things change for auctioneers”

If you are a registered auctioneer, you need to tell the Registrar about certain changes. You must do this if you or anyone managing your company can’t be registered anymore. You also need to tell the Registrar if any information about you on the register is wrong, or if you stop working as an auctioneer.

You have to let the Registrar know about these changes within 10 working days of finding out about them.

If your auction business is a company and you get a new manager, you have to tell the Registrar within 20 working days. You need to give them the new manager’s full name, where they live, and when they were born. You also need to say that this new person is allowed to be registered.

If you’re applying to be an auctioneer and you find out that something in your application isn’t true anymore, you need to tell the Registrar right away, even if they haven’t decided on your application yet.
