Incorporated Societies Act 2022 compliance services

Re-register your incorporated society

Clubs and societies must re-register under the new 2022 Incorporated Societies Act

You’re running out of time

The process usually takes at least 2 months. If you haven’t started, you need to act now:

  • Constitution review and mandatory amendments (1–2 weeks)
  • Member consultation period (2–4 weeks)
  • AGM or Special General Meeting notice and approval process (2–4 weeks)
  • If members don’t approve the changes, the process must start again

Delaying now may mean missing the deadline.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

If your society is not re-registered by 5 April 2026:

  • Bank accounts may be frozen
  • Automatically de-registered as a society
  • Insurance – unable to make claims or obtain new cover
  • Unable to obtain loans and potentially in breach of existing loan requirements
  • Cannot hold property or enter contracts
  • Must register as a new society – expensive and cumbersome process
  • Must reapply for a new IRD number and tax-exempt status
