Register as an organisation

Instructions on how to register as an organisation for our online services.

Organisations will nominate:

  • A stakeholder representative (‘representative’). This person manages the organisation’s account, including its users
  • Nominated users: staff who use BDM services on behalf of the organisation.

The representative can also be a user.
