The new Companies Act required all existing companies and overseas companies doing business in the Cook Islands to re-register in the online system within the first year that the law is commenced. The date to re-register has passed and all companies that failed to re-register have been struck off the active register. There are severe consequences to being struck off, including that when a company is removed from the register then all of its property vests in the Crown. Additional information on removal from the register and on how to restore your company to active status is found here.
Societies must update their information in the registry before they are permitted to submit any new filings. In order to file in the registry, you must first create a client account through the online form that is sent to the Registrar. Once approved, the account holder must then obtain filing authority over the company (or companies) for which they are authorised to submit filings. Filing authority is detailed here.
