Reinstatement is the process of restoring a deregistered company or close corporation (CC) to active status or restoring its legal personality.<\/p>\n

The company or CC must have been active or held economic value at the time of deregistration. Evidence must be retained and may be requested at any time by the CIPC after the reinstatement application has been processed.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When Should You Apply?” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ custom_margin=”5px||5px|” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||0px|” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px|” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

An application for reinstatement can only be applied if the company or close corporation has finally been deregistered.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Final Deregistration Status: Your entity will be marked as \u201cAR Final Deregistered\u201d or \u201cDeregistered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Not in Process: If deregistration is still in progress, file all pending Annual Returns and Beneficial Ownership declarations first.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Inactive at Deregistration: If the company or close corporation was not operational or had no economic value at the time of final deregistration, you must register a new company. This can be done via BizPortal at a cost of R175.00.<\/p>\n

Reinstatement of a company and close corporation is a fully automated process, and therefore, no upload of documents will be required except if the application is a court order.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How Do I Submit a Reinstatement Court Order?” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ custom_margin=”5px||5px|” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||0px|” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px|” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Use e-Services, and select Court order under the application type, indicate the court order detail and upload the court order. The court order will be verified by the CIPC back office.<\/p>\n

No fee is charged for court order-based reinstatement (R0.00).<\/p>\n

CIPC only processes a court order once and therefore ensures that the court order instructs the company or close corporation to comply with its outstanding administrative obligations e.g., Annual Returns, the latest Beneficial Ownership Declaration, and AFS\/FAS. Failure to file such administrative requirements by the company concerned will result in the company or close corporation being placed back into AR Deregistration.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Will the Company or Close Corporation Keep Its Original Name?” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ custom_margin=”5px||5px|” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||0px|” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px|” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Yes. Upon successful reinstatement, the company or close corporation will retain its original registered name since it is reinstated as if it was never been deregistered. It should be noted that, during the final deregistration period, another company or close corporation may have applied for a similar or identical name. In such an instance, you will have to approach the Companies Tribunal for a decision as to who is the strongest right to the name, and to require the other party to change its name.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How do I pay?” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ custom_margin=”5px||5px|” custom_margin_tablet=”5px||5px|” custom_margin_phone=”5px||5px|” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

The company or close corporation will be required to pay using CIPC card payment facility \u2013 no declining balance or deposits allowed.
Ensure that your bank card is authorised for electronic payments.<\/p>\n

Once the reinstatement application has been submitted, an email notification will be received to indicate that the application must be paid for. Once received, log back in and go to Cart to finalise the application. Customers have 5 working days from submission of the application to pay for the application. If not paid for within 5 working days, the application will be deleted, and a new application must be submitted.<\/p>\n

The status of the company or close corporation will only change once the reinstatement application was paid for or the court order has been confirmed by the back office. At such time, an email will be received to indicate that application or court order has bee processed and the next steps.<\/p>\n

If a reinstatement application, the status will change to \u201creinstatement process\u201d whereafter all outstanding Annual Returns, latest Beneficial Ownership Declarations and AFS\/FAS must be submitted within 30 business days to complete the process. If not submitted, the status will revert back to final deregistered, and a new application must be submitted. Once all the filings occurred, the status will change to \u201cin Business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 30 Business Days Rule: If annual returns are not filed within 30 business days after reinstatement, the entity will be deregistered again.
\u2022 False Information: Submitting false data is a criminal offense and may result in revocation of the reinstatement.<\/p>\n

The new registration process allows you to register without uploading documents or obtaining signatures from all directors. Instead, an OTP will be sent to each director\/founding member for verification.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does the OTP verification work?” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#f2f2f2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ custom_margin=”5px||5px|” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||0px|” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px|” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Each director will receive an OTP on their registered mobile number and OTP via email with links. They need to enter this OTP via the link to verify their identity.<\/p>\n

An annual return is a mandatory fee that cooperatives must pay with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) to confirm that the cooperative is still in business and that its information is up to date.<\/p>\n
