The registered date of incorporation appears to be invalid
Explanation
Your entity’s file shows a date of incorporation that appears to be incorrect or questionable. This situation may, in particular, result from an error made when entering the date of incorporation at the time of registration. You must therefore rectify the file by correcting the date of incorporation. Updating this information makes it possible to accurately reflect the current situation of your entity.
To verify the date of incorporation recorded with the RCS, you may consult the registration filing. This filing is available in the list of filings, which can be accessed from the entity’s RCS file and which provides the history of filings made. Additional information is available at the bottom of the page.
How to rectify an incorrect or questionable date of incorporation?
To rectify the date of incorporation of your entity, you must submit a corrective filing with the RCS. This consists in correcting the initial registration filing in order to indicate the correct date of incorporation.
The information presented is standard and provided for guidance purposes only. Depending on the legal form of your entity, the documents to be provided or the steps to be followed may differ.
After selecting the service Correct a filing alreqady made, you are taken to a screen where you must select the filing to be corrected from the list of filings made with the RCS.
In the list of filings displayed on the screen, select the filing corresponding to the initial registration of your entity.
It is in this filing that the date of incorporation was registered with the RCS; this is therefore the filing that must be corrected.
Once the relevant filing has been identified, click on the option Make a correction for this filing, available in the Correct a filing column.
After selecting the filing to be corrected, you are taken to the next screen, where you must:
- Check Yes in order to rectify the data previously registered using the data entry form (in this case, the date of incorporation);
- Select the language of the form relating to the corrective filing request;
- Check No to indicate that you do not wish to rectify the documents attached to the initial registration filing, since the deed of incorporation already contains the correct date.
In the part Saisie des données, select the section Date de constitution to access the information to be updated.
In the example provided as part of the explanations, you can see, in the Date de constitution section, that the year indicated is incorrect.
To correct the date of incorporation, click on the Modifier option in order to unlock the input fields and make the necessary changes.
In the Date de constitution field, use the Calender function to correct the date relating to the incorporation of the entity, which corresponds to the date of the entity’s deed of incorporation.
Once the information has been corrected, click on the Récapitulatif section to proceed to the next step.
