Company Documents

Need your Original Company Registration Documents (Ck1 or Cor14.3 Document)?

We can assist to retrieve all your documents from CIPC.

This includes ALL the CIPC Company registration documents which are applicable to your existing company. For CC’s it would be the CK documents and for Pty’s the CoR documents. These company registration documents (located at CIPC’s head office) serve as proof  that your company / CC is registered.  CIPC stores an electronic and hard-copy document at their head-office for all the registered Companies / CC’s.  We will retrieve the electronic file, certify it and email it to you.

If you want to retrieve a Certificate of Confirmation of any other South African Company to view their information, you can also do so by applying for the “CIPC Certificate of Confirmation” on our application form (at the top of this page). It contains the following information of a registered CC or Company:

1. Company / CC Registration Number
2. Company / CC’s Postal and Physical Address
3. Details of all the Company / CC’s current Directors / Members

The most important document in the constitution of a company is the Memorandum of Association (MOI) of the company. The Articles of Association is the second most important document that needs to be registered by any company for its incorporation, registration and subsequent operation.

The MOI sets out the rules governing the conduct of the company, as specified by its owners. The Companies Act imposes certain specific requirements on the content of a Memorandum of Incorporation, as necessary to protect the interests of shareholders in the company, and provides for a number of default company rules / alterable provisions, which companies may accept or alter as they wish as long as it is in line with the Companies Act.

A special resolution is required to amend the company’s MOI. If the amendment is proposed by the board of directors or shareholders, such board of directors or shareholders must be entitled to exercise at least 10% of the voting rights that may be exercised on such resolution and it must be adopted at the meeting of shareholders.

If a court order requires the amendment of the company’s MOI, it must be effected by a resolution of the company’s Board of Directors only (and not a special resolution).

The notice to amend the MOI (CoR15.2 and CoR15.2 Annexure A) must be filed within 10 business day after the amendment has been affected by the company.
