What the document covers
The direction explains the October 2004 introduction of registration numbers on specified business documents. It distinguishes document categories rather than applying identical wording to every instrument.
Specific requirements and implications
The direction distinguishes business letters, invoices, account statements and official publications from instruments for which the registered name alone was specified. It does not prescribe where the number must appear on the page. Existing stationery could be adapted with a stamp. For material not expressly listed, the explanatory approach is to consider whether showing the number avoids confusion about the company's identity, rather than assuming every group company shares one identifier.
