Director Appointment (DIR-12)
Adding a director is a governance event with a hard deadline: the appointment must be filed with the ROC in Form DIR-12 within 30 days. The new director needs a DIN and must give formal consent, and the board must pass the right resolution.
Done late or incompletely, the filing attracts additional fees and can cloud the validity of the board's actions — so it's worth doing cleanly the first time.
Key features and requirements
- Obtaining a DIN for the incoming director (if they don’t have one)
- Written consent to act as director (Form DIR-2)
- Board/shareholder resolution as applicable
- Filing Form DIR-12 with the ROC within 30 days
- Updating the register of directors
- Disclosure of interest by the new director
