The type of information made available from the register will depend on the type of search that someone applies for. There are two types of search: a first tier and a second tier search, with each providing different levels of information to the applicant.
The first tier search provides limited data about the donor and the LPA. Anyone who has made a first tier search can undertake a second tier search. The applicant must explain in detail to the OPG why they require the information and show that the request is in the donor’s best interests. This second tier search relates to further information about the donor only. There is not a defined list of the information disclosed in a second tier search because it will be different in every case, depending on what is required and what is in the donor’s best interests.
