Reregistering a charity

If your charity has been deregistered, you can apply to reregister using your existing charity registration (CC) number.

Before you apply to reregister, take time to understand what registration involves and whether it is the right option for your organisation. Learn about the benefits and obligations of registration and whether your organisation needs to be registered as a charity. Registration may not suit every organisation. For some organisations, especially smaller groups, the ongoing obligations may outweigh the benefits.

How to reregister

  1. Log in to your account using your CC number and password.
  2. Select the option to reregister.
  3. Review the pre-filled information from your previous registration and update any details that have changed.
  4. Submit your application.

Charities Services will assess your application using the standard registration process.

Information and documents you need to provide

When you review and update your application, make sure you include the most up-to-date versions of the following:

  • Primary contact details.
  • Your rules document.
  • Information about your charity’s activities.
  • Any Performance Reports or financial statements that were not filed during your previous registration. These must be prepared in line with the accounting standards set by the External Reporting Board.
