NPO Deregistration Form

Summary

This is a standard form used by Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) registered in Jersey to apply for deregistration under Part 6 of the Non-Profit Organizations (Jersey) Law 2008. It collects basic details about the NPO and the reason for deregistering, and requires certification by an authorised person.

• Identification: Name of the NPO and its NPO registration number.
• Reason for deregistration: e.g. liquidation, winding up, or other reason.
• Remaining funds: Whether any funds remain to be disbursed, and if so, where and when they will be distributed.
• Post-deregistration status: If the NPO is not being wound up after deregistration, further details must be provided.
• Certifier details: Name, capacity, signature and date of the person completing and submitting the form.
• Record retention confirmation: Confirmation that relevant records will be retained under Article 10 of the Non-Profit Organizations (Jersey) Law 2008 and, if applicable, Article 4(2) and 5(3) of the Non-Profit Organisations (Prescribed NPOs Additional Obligations) (Jersey) Order 2022.

The form itself does not set a filing deadline; it is submitted whenever an NPO chooses to deregister, and its supporting statements create ongoing record-retention obligations for the NPO.
