(2) An application for registration must be made by the keeper, or prospective keeper, of the bird to which the application relates on a form obtained from the Welsh Ministers.
(3) The Welsh Ministers must require an application to be accompanied by such reasonable charge for registration as they have determined under section 7(2A) of the Act(1).
(4) Upon receiving an application for registration, the Welsh Ministers must enter the relevant information on the register. But this is subject to paragraphs (5) and (6).
(5) The Welsh Ministers must not register any bird to which these Regulations apply unless satisfied that the bird has been ringed or marked in accordance with regulation 6.
(6) The Welsh Ministers may decline to make an entry in the register in respect of an application until the charge referred to in paragraph (3) of this regulation has been paid.
(7) Upon being notified in accordance with regulation 4(1)(d)(ii) of a change in the address at which a registered bird will be kept, the Welsh Ministers must ensure that the new address is entered onto the register as the registered address for that bird.
Section 7(2A) was inserted into the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981 by section 1(2) of the Birds (Registration Charges) Act 1997 (c. 55).
