To reinstate a registration, you will need to provide a financial report for the most recently completed fiscal year and a financial report covering any year for which the organization did not already file a financial report but should have, up to a maximum of the past three consecutive fiscal years. If you cannot provide a financial report for the most recently completed fiscal year at the time of reinstatement, provide a financial report for the year immediately prior. If necessary, you can file an extension for the most recently completed fiscal year after your reinstatement is approved. You will also need to pay any applicable fines for the overdue financial reports and the normal filing fee for a reinstatement ($10).

Examples

Example 1: A calendar year organization is reinstating on February 2, 2019. It is not prepared to file a 2018 financial form. The organization’s registration expired in 2015, but it should have maintained its registration through December 31, 2015. Except for that one year, it has not been required to register since its registration expired. Select the fiscal year four years ago when you were still soliciting contributions in Colorado and select the most recent fiscal year for which you can file a financial report today. You will end up providing two financial reports (2015 and 2017) and a renewal in order to reinstate your registration. You will pay a fine for the one year you should have been registered plus the normal filing fee for a reinstatement ($10).

Example 2: A calendar year organization is reinstating on December 15, 2019. The organization should have remained registered continuously since its registration expired in 2015. You will end up providing three financial reports (2016-2018) and a renewal in order to reinstate your registration. You will pay a fine for three overdue financial reports and the normal filing fee for a renewal.
