The new Guernsey Registry system includes new modern security features, including the need for users to become “authorised filers” before they can submit filings or complete an Annual Validation for a company.
The Registry has launched its new online portal, meaning limited liability partnership and foundation register users can utilise online services instead of having to submit paper forms.
The previous IT system was more than a decade old and needed upgrading to keep it in line with modern regulatory requirements.
“The Guernsey Registry aims to ensure good business is welcomed and thrives in the Bailiwick of Guernsey,” said Helen Gains, Registrar.
“This new IT system demonstrates our commitment to being a registry of choice in terms of meeting our customer needs and expectations, whilst ensuring data security and the integrity of the registers.
“We recognise that moving to the new system and adjusting to some of the changes will be challenging but we will do our best to work with our users to manage the impacts and to make it as smooth as possible.”
The States of Guernsey said the new system includes updated modern security features:
“Users will not be able to submit filings, or the company Annual Validation, without first becoming an authorised filer. The deadline for company annual validations is 29th February 2024. It is therefore recommended that the process of becoming an authorised filer is carried out as soon as possible and by 12th January 2024 at the latest.”
The Registry is offering training sessions until the end of February 2024.
