Delays In Re-Instatement Applications
There are substantial delays noted in the processing of re-instatement applications (Form CoR 40.5) as outlined in CIPC Notice 34, which also refers back to Notice 9 of 2024 for alternative communication channels.
The processing delays are blamed on the high volume of new applications and unintentional resubmissions. The indexing of incoming applications is current, and the focus is now shifting towards capturing and finalising applications in the queue.
The new turnaround times are expected to be:
- Re-instatement Applications: 15 working days from the date of tracking.
- Re-instatement Enquiries: The service standard is 15 working days from the receipt of an enquiry at enqreinstatements@cipc.co.za.
