If this is your first time using the Ontario Lobbyists Registry, you may wish to familiarize yourself with the Guide to the Lobbyists Registration Act, which explains the terms and registration requirements.
Registering as a lobbyist in Ontario is a four-step process:
Step One: APPLICATION
Complete
the application form. You will be asked to provide the consultant lobbyist’s or senior
officer’s contact information and submit it online.
Note: The primary email address that you enter will be used to login. For all in-house lobbyists, the information submitted must be that of the 'senior officer' - the organization’s highest paid officer, usually the executive director.
Step Two: CERTIFICATION
When a consultant lobbyist/senior officer or primary contact has submitted the application form, an email will be sent to the consultant lobbyist/senior officer’s email address directing them to a Certification page. This page outlines the responsibilities of a consultant lobbyist/senior officer when accessing and using the Ontario Lobbyists Registry. Only the consultant lobbyist/senior officer can click ‘I Certify' to proceed.
Step Three: ACTIVATION
An email confirmation will be sent to the consultant lobbyist/senior officer and the primary contact (if applicable) with an Activation Code and instructions about how to activate the account, create a password and answer security questions.
Step Four: LOGIN
Login and you will be directed to the “I would like to…” main menu page.
Select
“Create a Registration” to get started on your registration form.
