Social Security Self-Employed Registrations

A Self-Employed person is one who is

  • Sixteen (16) years of age or over and under sixty five (65) years of age;
  • Ordinarily resident in Anguilla;
  • Operate a business of their own;
  • gainfully occupied in employment and do not work under the control of an employer.

All self-employed persons are required to register with the Social Security Board on the appropriate registration form – Form SE 1 available at the Board’s Office.

All registered persons will be assigned a Social Security Number and issued a registration card bearing their full name and registration number. You are responsible for the safe keeping of your registration card. If the registration card is destroyed, lost or defaced, the matter should be reported to the Social Security Office for replacement.

Your registration number is important. You will not be able to pay contributions to the system without it and you will need to quote your number when communicating with the Board’s Office.

If you have been previously registered as an employed person under the Registration Regulations, the same registration number would be maintained for the purposes of registration as a self-employed person.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Anguilla Social Security Board extended coverage to all self-employed persons.
