Role of the Registered Agent
Agents act as structured intermediaries between applicants and the framework administration process.
Submission Coordination
Ensure documentation is complete, consistent, and aligned with the selected license category.
Compliance Liaison
Coordinate responses to clarifications and manage structured communication during review.
Ongoing Interface
Support renewals, reporting submissions, and material change notifications.
Why the Agent Structure Exists
- Prevents incomplete or inconsistent submissions
- Ensures scope mapping matches operational reality
- Creates a formal communication channel
- Reduces procedural delays
Important:
Direct submissions without an appointed Registered Agent are not processed. Agent appointment must be confirmed before documentation review begins.
