Once you have been registered with us you can use our online service to change details we hold for your charity. Some of the information is shown on the charity’s Register entry, so once registration begins it will be important you keep it up to date. Some of the details you will be able to update are:

• charity contact details;
• email addresses for Commission use and for public display; 
  
• financial year end;  
  
• your charity’s website address; 
  
• where your charity operates; 
  
• charity classifications; 
  
• description of activities

You must have the charity’s unique password to use the online service. If you do not have this or need a new one, you can easily order another password.

The new password will be emailed if we have an email address for the Commission to use for the charity. Otherwise, it will be posted to the charity contact and you should allow up to 7 days for receipt. Ordering a new password will immediately invalidate any previous password.

If the charity's contact or email details are out of date, and you do not have a password or cannot access our online services, you can contact us to get them updated.

For security reasons, any change of contact or email details will be subject to a validation procedure.

Some important features of the online system are:

• updates to details will normally be reflected on the charity’s web Register entry overnight;
• it is secure and details you submit cannot be tampered with; 
  
• the system is available at a time to suit you.
