"How to give documents or information to the Registrar"

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You need to give documents or information to the Registrar in a specific way. The Registrar decides how you give them the documents or information. They might ask you to use a certain form or send it electronically. You must follow the rules when giving documents or information to the Registrar. If you do not, the Registrar can refuse to help you with it. They can also refuse if you do not follow other rules in the Act or regulations. The Registrar's decision to accept or refuse a document or information does not affect whether it is valid or correct. This is unless the Act says something different about it, as mentioned in section 254(1)(b)(i) to (iv). The Registrar's decision is separate from the document's validity.
