  You can ask BSP not to publish information about you in the Register if you demonstrate that publishing it would be likely to hinder your activities and pose a serious threat to your safety.
  
  To submit a request, complete the Application for an Exemption of Publication  on the Register of Licence Holders.

  Given the nature of and the risks associated with your duties, you will automatically be exempted from having your information published in the Register without being required to complete an application for security reasons.

Please note that agencies cannot obtain an exemption from being listed in the Register; only licenced agents can do so. Consequently, if you are an agency representative, your first and last name as well as the address of your place of work will appear in the Register under the agency’s information. Therefore if you want to preserve all your confidential information, you must not work as an agency representative.
