Maintenance

Filing Renewals for your Business Name
Renewals must be filed with Corporate Registry every three years after the original registration date. They may be filed up to three months before the expiry date.

What is a renewal?
A renewal maintains your business's registration and verifies that the information in Corporate Registry records is correct. The renewal form is generated by the Corporate Registry and sent to the business. It is recommended that you verify the information online.

Forgot to file a Renewal?
If a renewal is not received by the due date, the registration of the business name will expire as of that date and will be shown as ‘expired' on the Corporate Registry.

Once expired, your business name becomes available to anyone else requesting a similar name after 90 days.

  • Login to the Corporate Registry application.
    • Select ‘file’.
  • Enter your entity number or name in the ‘file annual return or renewal' field.
