CIPC Compliance

How to Reinstate a Deregistered Company in South Africa

Review the company status, outstanding filings and evidence before starting a CIPC reinstatement application.

CIPC company reinstatement documents

A deregistered company is not fixed by paying one standard fee. The correct route depends on its status, filing history and the evidence available for reinstatement.

Start with the company status

  • Confirm the registration number and displayed status
  • Identify outstanding annual returns
  • Check Beneficial Ownership and related records
  • Collect CIPC notices and previous filing proof

Prepare supporting evidence

CIPC may require evidence connected to the company’s trading activity, assets or other circumstances. The exact evidence must be confirmed for the affected company.

Budget for the full correction

A quotation should separate reinstatement assistance, government charges, penalties, annual returns and any additional correction work.

Important

Requirements and processing times depend on complete documents, system availability and the relevant authority. This general information is not an official verification of your company’s status.
