What the guidance covers

Society Online Registration Flow explains the portal steps for creating a society user account, activating the login, submitting details for a new society application, uploading signed forms and making payment. It affects anyone using the portal to apply for registration of a new society.

Creating and activating a society login

A society must first create separate portal credentials:

  • On the home page, select Registration, then User Registration.
  • Choose Society Registration as the user type.
  • Create a username and password for the society.
  • Enter the society name, email address, mobile number, other personal details and the society address.
  • Enter the captcha and select Complete Registration.
  • Use the activation link sent to the supplied email address to activate the credentials.
  • Log in to the portal using the same username and password.

Access to the society application flow depends on completing the email activation step.

Applying to register a new society

After login, select Registration, Society Registration, then Apply for Online Society Registration. The application requires:

  • Society name and date of formation.
  • Address details.
  • Category and subcategory.
  • Annual general meeting due date.
  • At least seven members, consisting of at least three executive members and four non-executive members.
  • Two witnesses.

After all required details are entered, selecting Save&Next creates the society application.

Documents and payment

A society applicant must next open Registration, Society Registration, then Search Request. Selecting the relevant radio button displays three options, Upload Application, Upload Physically Signed Forms and Pay.

Under Upload Physically Signed Forms, the applicant must upload all four of the following documents:

  • Form I.
  • Form V.
  • Form VI.
  • Byelaws.

After adding all four documents, the applicant must select Submit. Payment is then completed by selecting the Pay button.
