Reregistering a financial service provider (FSP)
Who can reregister and how to apply
If your financial service provider (FSP) has been deregistered, you can in certain circumstances apply to have it reregistered. There's no fee for reregistration, but you must apply within 60 days of being deregistered.
Who can reregister
You can only reregister if your FSP:
- was still in the business of providing a financial service when it was deregistered, or
- was deregistered because you didn't pay fees that were due and we're now satisfied that these have been paid.
Before you apply
Before you apply to reregister, you must pay any overdue fees. We can't accept your application if you haven't paid them.
How to apply
