Public check

Verify a certificate

Enter the registration number on a CSOA registration certificate, or the code on a public collection (fundraising) certificate, to confirm that it was issued and is still in force.

A registration certificate is checked by the organisation's registration number. A fundraising certificate carries its own code of twelve letters. Both are printed at the foot of the certificate.

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.”
