Company Reinstatement

The CIPC company reinstatement process in South Africa legally revives a company or close corporation that was previously deregistered (typically for failure to file annual returns). Reinstatement restores the entity's legal personality, allowing it to trade, own assets, and enter into contracts once more.

Step-by-Step Reinstatement Process

The process is typically completed online or via email submission to the CIPC.

Gather Required Documentation

Completed Form CoR40.5 ('Application for Re-instatement of Deregistered Company').
Certified ID copies (not older than 3 months) of the applicant.
Sufficient documentary proof of business activity (e.g., recent bank statements).
Mandate letter confirming the request for reinstatement.

Submit the Application

We ensure the R200 CIPC reinstatement fee is paid.
We submit the completed Form CoR40.5 and all supporting documents online.
CIPC reviews the application. If approved, the company’s status changes to 'deregistration process.'

File Outstanding Returns

All overdue annual returns must be filed and penalties paid.
The latest Beneficial Ownership Declaration must be filed.
Once complete, the company’s status is fully restored to 'in business.'

Crucial Note

If the outstanding annual returns are not filed after reinstatement is processed, the company will be referred for final deregistration again within a short period (e.g., 30 business days). It is essential to complete all steps.
