Send your application

You must have illustrations of your design before you can apply to register a design.

If you do not want your design to be registered as soon as possible, you can ‘defer’ your application for up to 12 months. Your design will not be protected as a registered design while your application is deferred.

How much you pay depends on the number of designs you are registering, not the number of illustrations you include.
