While some information about Registrants is mandatory to be publically available, Registrants agree that it is their responsibility to decide which information is made available where they have the choice.
Registrants on both NRPSI and NRPST agree not to hold NRPSI Ltd responsible for any use the information on the public record is put to by a third party and agree that any personal information Registrants have asked to be displayed on the open access on-line register is at their own risk.
Registrants should recognise their responsibility as professional interpreters and translators to ensure the information on the on-line Register is correct, up-to-date and an honest and fair representation of their skills and experience and must inform NRPSI Ltd immediately if this information changes.
