[uknof] RIPE policy change for new LIR formation

[Paul Thornton]

Afternoon folks,

I'm locked into something of a battle of wills with the RIPE NCC at the 
moment, trying to establish a new LIR.  This is something I've done for 
UK companies plenty of times in the past with no problems at all.

Apparently, they now[1] reject certificates of registration that are 
more than two years old as "too old".  The fact that these will carry 
the date of initial registration seems to be neither here nor there.  It 
is also not sufficient to send a recent annual return at the same time 
to show that the details are in fact still up to date.

Does anyone know what, precisely, one needs to get from Companies House 
to satisfy this new bit of Dutch bureacracy?  I can't see that there's 
any way to get CH to re-issue a registration document with a new date 
except for a re-incorporation due to a name change!

Ta

Paul.

established an LIR for a UK-based company.
