Register of Periti

Article 4 of the Periti Act, Cap.622, stipulates that “the Warranting Board shall maintain a register of all warrant holders issued under this Act. The register shall comprise a number of lists, as defined in this Act, which shall have the purpose of making available to the public the names of the persons who are qualified to undertake the services as defined by the respective lists.

“Every warrant holder registered with the Warranting Board shall have a unique registration number, which shall be used to identify the warranted professional. This registration number shall be used to confirm all formal documentation issued by the warranted professional in the course of execution of his profession, under his responsibility.”

The various lists within the register are published by the Warranting Board in the Government Gazette and its website.

The titles of Perit, Perit Arkitett, Perit Inġinier Ċivili, Perit Arkitett u Inġinier Ċivili and Periti are regulated protected titles, and unauthorised use of these titles, or of acting in such a way as to suggest the authority to use the titles, shall constitute an offence and be subject to the penalties prescribed by article 26 of the Act.

Those warrant holders who are entered in the list of Perit Arkitett shall have the right to use the title of Perit Arkitett. Those warrant holders who are entered in the list of Perit Inġinier Ċivili shall have the right to use the title of Perit Inġinier Ċivili. Those warrant holders who are entered in both lists shall have the right to use the combined title Perit Arkitett u Inġinier Ċivili. Only partnerships who are entered in the list of Periti shall have the right to use the title of Periti.
