Quick answer
To prepare a private-to-public conversion, prepare shareholder resolution, revised memorandum and articles, capital, shareholder and director compliance, audited accounts and sector approvals, confirm the current process with the Office of Company Registrar and CAMIS, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Private companies restructuring to meet public-company requirements
- Applicants who need to prepare a private-to-public conversion using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Company registration, authorized person identity and board or shareholder authority
- □ shareholder resolution
- □ revised memorandum and articles
- □ capital, shareholder and director compliance
- □ audited accounts and sector approvals
- □ Official CAMIS application, resolution or company-action reference
- □ Official OCR fee or penalty receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Office of Company Registrar and CAMIS is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across shareholder resolution, revised memorandum and articles, capital, shareholder and director compliance, audited accounts and sector approvals.
- Review public-company requirements, change constitutional documents and governance, obtain approval, and update licences, securities and disclosure systems.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched shareholder resolution, revised memorandum and articles, capital, shareholder and director compliance, audited accounts and sector approvals
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Using 'public' in the name or inviting public investment before approval can breach company and securities law.

The decision point most applicants miss
Confirm whether conversion supports fundraising, regulatory requirement, shareholder growth, merger or sector licensing.
After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
What was verified from the official source
