EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
Every organisation or person trading in Gibraltar has to register their own details with the Employment Service at the Ministry of Employment within three months of commencement. In order to register, an application for registration must be filled out and sent along with a fee. Registration is renewable annually on the anniversary of the first registration.
Persons wishing to register as self-employed, using their own name, must submit an Application for Registration of Business Trades and Profession Regulations 1991, together with:
• a personal details form;
• passport or ID card;
• information specifying a Gibraltar trading address (a recent proof of address); and
• a valid Business Licence if required.
In order to register an unincorporated business with the Employment Service, a Certificate of Registration of a Business Name must also be included in the application. A company submitting the Application for Registration of Business Trades and Profession Regulations 1991 must include the following documents:
• a Certificate of Incorporation,
• particulars of the company’s directors (a profile issued by Companies House is sufficient);
• a completed Notice of Terms of Engagement for ‘working’ directors; and
• a valid Business Licence if required.
Once the application is complete, the Employment Services will issue a Certificate of Registration, which must be displayed at the principal place of business or, in the case of a company, its registered office.
