CIPC UPDATE: ROLLBACK TO OLD E-SERVICES AND BIZPORTAL

23 January 2023

Over the weekend CIPC migrated back to the old platforms. Transactions performed since the launch of the new systems on 9 January until 20 January 2023 were also successfully migrated. Update of the status of transactions performed on the new systems is as follows.

Name reservations, company registration and director amendments

Due to backlogs, a decision was taken to remove ALL PENDING name reservations, company registration and director amendments from the processing queues. Customers will have to resubmit these so that they can be processed within the communicated CIPC service standards. The original payments made for these services will be credited to customer codes will by Friday, 27 January 2023.  

How the system works now

Existing customers are requested to access through the CIPC website and login with their old credentials.

Regarding payments and refunds CIPC will also be rolling back to the declining balances as a form of payment, until further notice.

For more information on name reservations, company registration, refunds, director amendments and annual return filing read the full Notice from CIPC here.
