(2) Notice of any such change shall be sent to the FCA and the FCA shall— (a) register the notice of the change of registered office; (b) issue the society with a certificate of registration; and (c) keep a copy of the certificate of registration in the public file of the society. (3) A change of registered office shall not take effect until the date on which the certificate of registration under sub-paragraph (2) above is issued or such later date as may be specified in the certificate. (4) If an incorporated friendly society fails, within the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which a resolution changing its registered office is passed, to send to the FCA the notice required by sub-paragraph (2) above, the society shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.
