15—Application for registration

        (1)         An application for registration must—

            (a)         be made to the Commissioner in the manner and form approved by the Commissioner; and

            (b)         except where the applicant is a licensed building work contractor—be accompanied by the fee fixed by regulation.

        (2)         An applicant for registration must provide the Commissioner with such evidence as the Commissioner thinks appropriate as to the identity, age and address of the applicant and any other information required by the Commissioner for the purposes of determining the application.

        (3)         A certificate of registration will include a photograph of the registered building work supervisor; consequently, an applicant for registration may be required by the Commissioner

            (a)         to attend at a specified place for the purpose of having the applicant's photograph taken; or

            (b)         to supply the Commissioner with one or more photographs of the applicant as specified by the Commissioner.

        (4)         If an applicant for registration has previously failed to pay a fee or penalty that became payable under this Act, the Commissioner may require the applicant to pay the whole or a specified part of the fee or penalty.

        (5)         The Commissioner may, by notice in writing, require an applicant for registration, within a time fixed by the notice (which may not be less than 28 days after service of the notice), to comply with any requirement under this section to the Commissioner's satisfaction.

        (6)         If the applicant fails to comply with the notice under subsection (5), the Commissioner may, without further notice, refuse the application but keep the fee that accompanied the application.
