An application should be registered promptly after it is made. At that stage, the competent authorities responsible for registering applications or experts deployed by the Asylum Agency assisting them with that task should register the application together with the personal details of the applicant. Those authorities or experts should inform the applicant of his or her rights and obligations, as well as the consequences for the applicant in the event of non-compliance with those obligations. Organisations working with the competent authorities and assisting them should also be able to provide this information. The applicant should be given a document indicating that an application has been made and registered. The time limit for lodging an application starts to run from the moment an application is registered.
