NEW APPLICATION AND RENEWAL OF CERTIFICATE
- Application For Registration
Any individual, company, or organization classified under the 13 Class of Data Controller must obtain a Registration Certificate from the Personal Data Protection Commissioner to comply with the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 [Act 709].
The application must be accompanied by an official document from the relevant regulatory body or authority, verifying that the data controller organization is a Data Controller and specifying the type of business being conducted.
The registration process will be considered complete once the applicant has made the prescribed fee payment, and the Registration Certificate from the Personal Data Protection Commissioner is digitally generated via the SPDP system.
For organizations classified under two (2) or more Data Controller categories, registration for each category must be carried out separately.
