Step 2 - Tell us who your nominated person is

To submit documents in myRegistry, every business, company, foundation and partnership must appoint a nominated person. More than one nominated person may be appointed.

The nominated person will have access to the entity's private and public information held by us. They will provide all information and documents to us on behalf of the entity.

For example, you could be the nominated person if you are a director or company secretary resident in Jersey and you already submit documents to us. If you are not eligible to be the nominated person, you must appoint someone who is.

To register as a nominated person

If you are the proposed nominated person, there are two options to register. More details can be found here:

1. Select ‘Register as nominated person' from the myRegistry home page
2. Select ‘Start new submission’ and select ‘Register nominated person'

Search for the company / business for which you will act as the nominated person by using the company name or number. Check that the correct company / business is selected.

If you have appointed a lawyer or accountant to be your nominated person, they submit the 'register as nominated person' form.

Step 3 - Complete your registration

Authorisation code

Once we have processed your nominated person submission, an authorisation code will sent via post to the registered office address.

If you are the nominated person, you must enter the authorisation code using the 'nominated person PIN verification' form in myRegistry.

If you have appointed a lawyer or accountant to be the nominated person, you must provide them with the authorisation code so that they can enter it in myRegistry.  

You must be authorised as the nominated person before you can complete any further steps.

If you don’t have access to the registered office

If your business / company is no longer in control of the registered office address or cannot receive mail at this address we will require you to contact us or come into the office with proof that you have authorisation to act as the nominated person.
