SSM queried my name application even with a consent letter — why?

Common reasons: the consent letter's scope doesn't match the exact name applied for, the similarity extends beyond the consenting entity to a third company, a controlled word needs a regulator's approval no private consent can supply, or the letter lacks the signatory authority SSM expects. Queries have response deadlines — answer precisely and quickly or the application lapses.

Statutory figures: SSM naming guidelines

Also asked as: form 13a queried; name approval query consent letter; ssm name query response.

We pre-screen consent letters against SSM's practice notes before filing, which is cheaper than discovering the defect inside a query window.

Key facts

  • Scope mismatch, third-party similarity, controlled words, authority defects
  • Query responses are deadline-bound
