Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Point (c) now ends the natural-person description with a semicolon and moves the legal-person description, previously combined in point (c), into a new separate point (ca), which adds the phrase describing a unique set of data unambiguously representing the legal person before restating the name and, where applicable, registration number requirement.
Point (j) changes from referring only to the location of the certificate validity status services to referring to the information or the location of those services, and changes the phrase about enquiring as to the validity status to enquiring about the validity status.
