If you allow your registration to expire, you can no longer solicit contributions in Colorado. We will send two notifications (by both email and first-class mail) alerting the organization that its registration expired. If you act before the 17^th day after the expiration date, you can renew without penalty. After that, you will need to reinstate your registration.

How do I get back in compliance if I my registration expired?

You will need to reinstate your registration. Log in to your account, click on the File a Doc link at the bottom of the summary page, select “Reinstate Registration” and follow the prompts.

Paid solicitors pay the normal filing fee for the reinstatement and, if applicable, a fine for each year they should have been registered since the expiration date, up to a maximum of three years.

What else should I know about the reinstatement process?

Because the e-file application only allows one open filing at a time, we must delete any incomplete filings on the system when a customer clicks on the “Reinstate” link. Please plan accordingly, so you don’t end up re-entering the same data in a reinstatement form that you had already entered in a renewal or amendment.

If a renewal or amendment is submitted near the expiration date and is subsequently rejected, you will have at least five calendar days to make the required corrections and re-submit. On the 18^th calendar day after the expiration date, any incomplete filings -- including a rejected renewal or amendment -- will be deleted from the system, and you will need to reinstate your registration.
