Annual validation reminder issued

Monday 06 January 2025

Companies, charities and non-profit organisations have been reminded to file annual validations.

If they were registered with the Guernsey Registry on or before 1st December 2024 they need to get their submission in by 28 February.

The annual validations have to be filed using the Guernsey Registry online services portal.

"Unless managing a company registration through a corporate service provider or regulated presenter, all companies, charities and NPOs must submit their annual validations through an authorised filer," a spokesperson said.

"All legal persons are required to have a Resident Agent, unless exempt, who are appointed as the authorised filer and nominated person."

More information about becoming an authorised filer and nominated person is available at guernseyregistry.com.

Any charity or NPO that is also a registered company are required to file both a company and a charity or NPO annual validation.

Companies, charities and NPOs who do not file an annual validation by the deadline will be liable to a civil penalty.

Several drop-in sessions are taking place to assist charities and NPOs with their annual validation on the following dates at Room 1 at Les Cotils:

• Tuesday 4th February, 12 – 2pm
• Thursday 6th February, 12 – 2pm
