Application Process

How the Application Works

1

Submit Application

Complete the form below with your company, contact, attorney and tier details. Then confirm your email address with the link that we send you.

2

Submit Required Documents

After an initial review, we email you a secure upload link. Each time you open it, we email you a code to confirm that you have access to the inbox. Your attorney gets a separate link for the trust account letter. All documents must be received for the application to proceed to compliance review.

  • —Company registration documents (COR14.3 or COR15.1A)
  • —Bank confirmation letter for attorney trust account (not older than 3 months) — uploaded by your attorney

Compliance Review

The Accreditation & Verification Committee independently reviews all documents — typically 5–10 business days. If an item needs changes, we email you a new link for that item.

4

Board Approval & Payment

On approval, you pay the application fee and first annual fee online through Payfast, or by EFT on request. Membership activates on payment confirmation.

5

Ongoing Monitoring

Active membership is subject to annual renewal, compliance re-confirmation and monitoring. Membership is a continuous commitment.
