Using the Registry

If you are paid to lobby BC public office holders, you must register your lobbying activities in the Lobbyists Registry.

Our Getting Started - Reference Guide answers common questions about lobbying in BC, including when and how lobbyists need to register with the BC Lobbyists Registry.

If you are paid to lobby BC public office holders, you must register your lobbying activities in the Lobbyists Registry following the timelines set out in the Lobbyists Transparency Act. Our Registration Timelines Infographic provides an overview of the 10, 15, and 30-day requirements.
