Abstract: The absence of the procedure rules of China’s trust registration has greatly affected the development of the trust industry, thus it needs a systematic design. In terms of comparison, the procedure rules of trust registration in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, which are similar to those in China, are of great significance for reference and should be fully referred to. As for the establishment of trust registration institutions, we should adopt the mode of “decentralized registration in nature, unified window in form” in the short and medium term, while in the long term, we should carry out the unified trust registration along with the formation of unified property registration institutions in China. As for the application for trust registration, we should fully adopt the mature rule of comparative method that is “joint application as the principle and separate application as the exception”. The review of trust registration should put aside the dispute between abstract formal review and substantive review, and be problem-oriented. The design and implementation of the trust registration application and review rules should consider linking up with the existing registration system and promote it in a“gradual”way.

Key words: trust registration; procedure design; trust registration institution; CTRC
