When do I have to register by?
Up one level
The Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR) opened in August 2010, with a transition (implementation) period allowing time for financial service providers to become registered before registration becomes compulsory. The compulsory date for registration for most FSPs was 1 December 2010.
Financial Advisers have until 31 March 2011 to become registered. If they require authorisation, authorisation must be complete by 30 June 2011.
QFEs and other entities whose only financial service is to employ financial advisers must register by 31 March, or their employees or nominated representatives will be required to register individually by that date. However, any such companies that also provide other financial services should have registered by 1 December.
