Q: Registration or Approval of a Food Business - How do I register?

Answer:
By filling in a form. Registration cannot be refused and there is no charge. The registration form must be sent to your local authority. The address can be found in the telephone directory. If the form is sent to the wrong address your application will not take effect until it is received at the proper place. If you use premises in more than one local authority area, you must register with each authority separately. On the form you must tick all the boxes which apply to your business, answer all the questions and give all the information requested. Seasonal businesses operating for a certain period each year should give dates between which they will be open in answer to question 9. If you have any questions your local authority will help you. It is an offence to give information which you know is false.
