Public Register (NEVIGO) — How to Read and Verify Entries
This guidance explains how the public register operates, what information it contains, and how third parties should interpret register entries when verifying license claims.
Purpose of the Public Register
The public register is the authoritative source for confirming whether an entity is licensed and the scope of activities it is permitted to conduct. It supports transparency, verification, and informed decision-making by counterparties and the public.
What Information the Register Contains
- Legal name of the licensed entity
- license reference number
- license status (active, suspended, revoked)
- Authorised activities
- Conditions, limitations, or annotations
How to Verify a license Claim
Verification requires matching the claim being made against the register entry. The legal entity name and authorised activities must align with the services being offered.
Interpreting license Status
license status indicates the current regulatory standing of an entity. An active license confirms authorisation within scope; suspended or revoked status indicates restrictions or termination.
Conditions and Limitations
Some licenses include conditions or limitations. These form part of the license and must be read alongside authorised activities.
Register Precedence
Where a discrepancy exists between marketing material and the register, the register takes precedence for verification and reliance purposes.
Conclusion
Reliance on the public register protects counterparties and supports market integrity. All license claims should be independently verified using NEVIGO.
