Director Resignation (DIR-12 & DIR-11)
When a director resigns, both the company and the outgoing director have filings to make — and both have a 30-day window. Getting this recorded correctly protects the departing director from liability for the company's later actions and keeps the register accurate.
The company files Form DIR-12; the resigning director can (and often should) file Form DIR-11 on their own account to formally record the resignation.
Key features and requirements
- Resignation letter and board acknowledgement
- Company files Form DIR-12 within 30 days
- Resigning director may file Form DIR-11 to protect their position
- Register of directors updated
- Effective date and reasons recorded
- Where a director exits entirely, DIN implications considered
