Apply to cancel a certificate

Download

Submit application in AICIS Business Services

Before you apply

• Check that it has been less than 5 years since we issued the certificate - if 5 or more years have passed, the certificate has likely expired. Contact us if in doubt.
• Check that there is no early listing in the Inventory related to your certificate - if an early listing has been granted, the certificate has expired.

Who can cancel an assessment certificate? 

A certificate holder can cancel an assessment certificate.

If there are any joint certificate holders, all of them must also consent to the cancellation. In this regard, whoever is applying to cancel the certificate (the primary applicant), must upload signed consent forms for all joint certificate holders. 

If any joint certificate holder DOES not agree, we cannot cancel the certificate but you can apply to be removed as a certificate holder instead.

Information requirements 

• Assessment certificate number. 
• AICIS registration number/business ID. 
• Consent by all certificate holders. 

After you submit your cancellation request 

We will confirm in writing (you should allow 10 working days for us to process) to you and any other certificate holders that the certificate has been cancelled. 

If we don't approve your application

If you don't agree with our decision, you may ask us to reconsider our decision. You must submit a written request to the Executive Director within 20 working days of receiving our decision.
