Central ROND and RONS: Adding new nominators

Before you add nominators

Ensure the information in your private ROND and RONS is up to date before filing with ACRA. You must update the Central ROND and RONS within two business days of updating your private registers.

Note: You cannot apply for an extension of time for ROND and RONS filings. If you do not file your ROND and RONS with ACRA on time, you may face prosecution and fines of up to $25,000.

Step 1: Log in to Bizfile and open the “Update Registers of Nominee Directors and Nominee Shareholders” eService

Follow these steps to log in to Bizfile and navigate to Update Registers of Nominee Directors and Nominee Shareholders eService.
