Part 1: Registration of Overseas Entities Annotation of the register Section 20: Annotation of the register
It is important that the register is as useful and transparent a source of information as possible for users. This section provides that the Registrar must annotate the register in certain circumstances (i.e. on receipt, replacement and removal from the register of documents or material sent to the Registrar under this Act). The Registrar must also record the date on which documents are received under this Act.  Removals from the register must be accompanied by an annotation detailing the power that permitted the removal, a general description of the material removed and the date on which removal took place.
	Subsection (2) confers on the Secretary of State a power to make provision by regulations, authorising or requiring the Registrar to annotate the register in such other circumstances as may be specified in the regulations and as to the contents of any such annotation. Any such regulations will be subject to the negative resolution procedure (subsection (6)).
	Documents treated as not being properly delivered as given by s1072(2) of the Companies Act 2006 do not require annotation (subsection (3)).
	The Registrar has the discretion to remove notes where they no longer serve a useful purpose (subsection (4)).
	The Court has override authority, under section 30, to direct for the removal of a note or to remove material specified in a court order without placing a note (subsection (5)).
