Guernsey Registry was set up following a review of the Companies (Guernsey) Law and the existing company processes. This has meant a change from a judicial process (carried out by the Greffe using procedures fundamentally unchanged since 1883) to an administrative process (carried out through the new Registry with the statutory appointment of the Guernsey Registrar of Companies).
The Registry also includes the Bailiwick of Guernsey Intellectual Property Office which opened on 1 June 2006 to administer all Trade Mark and Design registrations and activities and to provide information on the Intellectual Property Laws enacted in the Bailiwick.
When contacting the Registry it is important to direct telephone enquiries to 01481 743800 or email enquiries to enquiries@guernseyregistry.com.
The enquiries@guernseyregistry.com email inbox is checked by senior staff of the registry on a regular basis throughout the day.
Full details of the team, including the Intellectual Property Office which is also part of the Registry, can be found here.
