15A Variation of registration to add registration classes

(1) A person registered as a combatant may apply to the Authority to vary the registration to add 1 or more registration classes of combatant.

(2) The application must—

(a) be in the approved form, and

(b) be accompanied by the fee, if any, payable for the application as prescribed by the regulations, and

(c) specify the registration class or classes the person is applying to add, and

(d) be accompanied by—

(i) a current certificate of fitness for the applicant, and

(ii) a current serological clearance for the applicant, and

(iii) any other document or information required by the Authority for the application.

(3) The Authority may exempt an applicant from a requirement under subsection (2)(d) if, at the time the application is made—

(a) for a requirement under section (2)(d)(i) or (ii)—the Authority already holds a current certificate or clearance for the applicant, or

(b) for a requirement under section (2)(d)(iii)—the applicant has already provided Authority with the document or information.

(4) Section 13 applies to the application as if it were an application, under section 11, to be registered as a combatant for the class to be added.

(5) To avoid doubt, if the Authority grants an application to add a registration class (the added class) to the applicant’s registration as a combatant, the person’s registration in the added class ends on the same day as the applicant’s registration as a combatant before the addition of the added class.
