About registration status

An active CSO means the respective CSO has made its annual submissions inclusive of Annual Audit Report, Annual Workplan, Annual Report and AGM (for membership based organizations). The respective CSO has annual reporting in compliance with the regulations and has its renewal up to date.

An inactive CSO on the other hand means the respective CSO has failed to meet its annual reporting requirements. Prolonged non-renewal shall result in cancellation of registration.

Cancelled status indicates that the respective CSO has not made annual submissions and has delayed its renewal for more than six months. During the period, the CSO shall be interpreted as “Operating without a Valid Certificate.”
