What is causing the delays in CIPC eServices?

The CIPC has recently announced a significant backlog in processing reinstatement applications (form CoR 40.5) and handling related enquiries.

This situation stems from the mass final deregistration of entities due to non-compliance with annual returns in January 2024.

With the current situation where CIPC is down and/or delayed in terms of processing speed, many entrepreneurs are experiencing longer waiting times for their business reinstatements and queries.

Impact on Service Standards at the CIPC

Typically, the CIPC commits to the following service standards:
  • Reinstatement applications: 3 working days
  • Deregistration enquiries: 5 working days
  • Reinstatement enquiries: 5 working days

However, due to the current backlog, these timelines have been extended to approximately 10 working days for each process.
