Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has deferred the enforcement of new fees and penalties for document downloads on its upgraded registration portal to September 1, 2025.
The announcement, made via a public notice on Monday in Abuja, follows user difficulties encountered during the transition to the revamped system.
Initially set to begin on August 1, the new charges apply to documents not downloaded within seven days of approval.
Recently, users faced issues such as problems downloading documents, processing payments, filing post-incorporation documents for business names, and uploading specific required files.
The CAC stated, “We are collaborating with our technical partners and stakeholders to stabilize the system without disrupting the entire portal.”
The postponement aims to provide temporary relief for businesses and ensure a smoother user experience as the commission transitions to its AI-powered platform.
The decision also responds to feedback from customers and stakeholders nationwide.
“We value your patience and understanding during this period,” the CAC added. NAN notes that the new digital portal, launched on June 30, 2025, was designed to enhance service delivery and streamline business registration processes.
