Pretoria \u2013 Monday, 11 August 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) is proud to announce that the application process for companies and close corporations\u2019 re-instatements (Form CoR405) has been fully automated effective from today, 11 August 2025.<\/p>\n This digital upgrade forms part of CIPC\u2019s mission to modernise the services it renders to the clients, save time and simplify doing business in South Africa.<\/p>\n From today onwards, all applications for companies and close corporations re-instatements must be submitted online via:<\/p>\n The old email address previously used for these applications (re-instatements@cipc.co.za<\/a><\/span>) will be discontinued and will no longer accept applications.<\/p>\n This fully automated service allows users to complete and submit Form CoR40.5 online without the need to upload supporting documents, unless the user is submitting a court order.<\/p>\n It is important to note that only companies and close corporations that were operational or had economic value at the time of deregistration are eligible for re-instatement. Such evidence must be retained and may be requested by CIPC in line with Companies Regulation 168.<\/p>\n Key Points to Note:<\/p>\n To ensure seamless transition, CIPC will walk the clients through the new process using the step-by-step user guide, a list of frequently asked questions, and will host webinars following the launch.
