Guidance on creating a registry regime

This document is designed for:

• policymakers considering whether a register is the right regulatory tool and wanting to understand its risks, benefits, and alternatives.
• people responsible for establishing a register and looking to maximise its effectiveness while keeping it practical to operate.
• those with a clear policy rationale for a register who are seeking guidance on its design and key features.

The accompanying roadmap tool helps users identify the key elements of a successful register regime, determine where it should be located, assess implementation and operating costs, and consider appropriate funding arrangements.
