Auctioneers Act 2013

Registrar and register

20: Registrar's certificate

You could also call this:

“The Registrar can give you a paper that proves if someone is an auctioneer”

The Registrar can give you a certificate that proves important information about auctioneers. This certificate is considered strong evidence unless someone can prove it’s wrong. The certificate can show two main things:

First, it can tell you if a specific person was or wasn’t registered as an auctioneer at a certain time or during a particular period. This is helpful if you need to know about someone’s official status as an auctioneer.

Second, the certificate can confirm that any information in the register of auctioneers is correct. The register is like a big list of all the auctioneers, and the certificate can prove that what’s written in it is true.

This certificate is a powerful tool because it’s trusted to be accurate. It makes it easier for people to check and verify information about auctioneers without having to do a lot of extra work.
