Counted by: Application date as recorded by the registry.
Period covered: 1 March 2026 to March 31, 2026.
Comparison: Month-over-month change compares the full previous calendar month.
Known limitation: Figures are counted by the application date recorded in the register. Our index is refreshed hourly, but the registry publishes new applications with a delay, so the most recent days are always under-reported and will rise as records arrive.
