Frequently Asked Questions

What is a registered address?

The registered address is the official business address where all legal and government notices are served. The address must be registered with CIPC which in turn shares this information with SARS. Therefore, all fines, summonses and legal notices are delivered to the registered address of the company.  

Which address can be a registered address?

The business address is the physical location from which the business operates, while the postal address is usually just a PO Box. A residential address is the physical place where you live and often all three these addresses are the same address and used as the registered address. However, only a physical address with a municipal account can be used as a registered business address and not a PO Box.  

Why is the registered address so important?

This is the address where all legal notices are served. For this reason, many companies choose to have their registered address changed to that of their acco untants as they usually deal with any tax related matters. 

Can I update my registered address and my residential address with CIPC at the same time?

No, CIPC has two separate applications, one for the companies registered address (CoR 21.1) and another to update the director’s residential address (CoR 39) 

Who is responsible for updating the registered address?

The directors are responsible for all statutory updates of the company including the updating of the companies registered address.
