What documents do I need?
An application form, your constitution, minutes of the meeting where trustees were appointed, passport photos and ID for trustees, and proof of address for the NGO.
Can I track my registration?

How do I pay?
You can pay securely by card, bank transfer, or selected mobile money — all through our secure payment gateway.
