An authority to act authorises another individual - most often a licensed trainer (or their appointed sub-agent) - to carry out various administrative tasks on your behalf including adding horses into your ownership, completing registration forms and making entries and declarations. You will need an authority to act for each trainer you have a horse with as a Sole or Company owner. In the case of a Partnership, only one Partner will need an authority to act with the trainer. For Syndicates and Racing Clubs only one of the Syndicators/Club Managers will need an authority to act with the trainer.
As part of this application you can register an authority to act or, alternatively, skip this step to register one at a later time. The fee for registering an authority to act is
£65.67
(and if you are an ROA member a discount will be applied).
