Submitting Documents

Submitting SIs and Associated Documents for Registration & Publishing

Legislation.gov.uk Publishing provides an integrated, end-to-end system for the publication of legislation and associated documents in print and electronically to legislation.gov.uk. Legislation.gov.uk Publishing uses a simple 5 step process for submitting documents for registration and onward publication.

SIs can have a number of associated documents, with Explanatory Memoranda and Impact Assessments being the most common type of associated documents. Any number of associated documents can be uploaded with the SI document upon submission.   Other types of associated documents such as Transposition Notes and RPC Opinions should be submitted separately as stand-alone documents and not appended to another associated document.  Annexes related to an Explanatory Memoranda are allowed. 

If you are unsure as to whether a document should be published as an associated document, or the type of document you wish to publish alongside the SI is not listed in the "Other Documents" drop-down list, please consult with the SI Registrar for advice.

Associated documents are normally only published in electronic format alongside the SI on legislation.gov.uk.  Associated documents can be published alongside the SI after publication of the SI by using the Associated Document Bundle.
