# Register Nominee
Every Trust account(whether the account is used by a human or an organisation of humans) must have a nominee(a natural person) associated with it.
The nominee registered is the legal person, who is the beneficial owner of the Trust Account and is responsible for the account activity.
This step requires you to pay a Nominee Registration fees and verify your identity attributes.

Nominee Registration
Open-Bank Foundation uses data provided during the activation of Open-BankID to provision Trust Entitlements to you. Read more about how the data is used in the network's [compliance docs](https://docs.openconstitution.us/compliance-docs).
In the case of an organisation opening the Trust Account and activating Open-BankID, an organisation representative must be associated as a nominee.
The organisation representative is any natural person who is a real or beneficial owner of the organisation who is registering and activating Open-BankID.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.open-bank.org/activate-open-bankid/register-nominee.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
