Summary
The Trust Registration Service (TRS) is the Government's register of trusts; it is part of the Government's wider strategy to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2026 No. 621 came into force on 30 June 2026. This manual is being updated to reflect changes to which trusts must register with the Trust Registration Service. Non-UK trusts that acquired UK property before 6 October 2020 are not currently able to register due to changes to the IT system. We will release an update in due course.
