Ken:
I’ve been thinking about giving a Christmas present to the representative of my client to express my appreciation. In this season, I see Santa Clause running by bike on the street. Isn’t it a good chance to give a present to him? Also, isn’t it even better to hand it to him? Cause I know his address!
Emma:
Do you know his address? Are you really close to him?
George:
No. Ken got that information from the company registration.
Under Article 991-3 in the Companies Act, the information about the “name and address” of the company representative should be registered when establishing the company. Therefore, today, anybody can find the representative’s name and address on the company’s register. The name and address of the representative should be registered in case of notifying penalties due to default in registration or any possible lawsuits.
However, according to the latest news, from the point of privacy protection, the government is considering that the representative’s name and address should not be publicly disclosed upon request if the efficient business transaction can be maintained, and that the procedure of any possible lawsuits can be secured.
Conclusion
In this article, we mentioned “Address of the Representative.”
