CAC Portal Login & Troubleshooting Guide

How to login to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) CRP pre and post-incorporation portals, reset forgotten passwords, and resolve common submission queries.

Pre-Incorporation vs. Post-Incorporation Portals

Pre-Incorporation Portal

pre.cac.gov.ng

Used for brand-new entity registrations that do not yet have an approved CAC registration number:

  • • Business Name reservations and initial filings
  • • Limited Liability Company (LTD) incorporations
  • • NGO and Incorporated Trustees applications
  • • Initial document and ID uploads

Post-Incorporation Portal

post.cac.gov.ng

Used for already-registered companies and businesses with active RC or BN numbers:

  • • Annual Returns filings and backlog clearance
  • • Change of registered address or business name
  • • Appointment or removal of company directors
  • • Increase or alteration of share capital

Troubleshooting Common CAC Portal Errors

1. "Invalid Username or Password"

Ensure you are typing the exact email address used at registration. Passwords on CAC are case-sensitive. Use the "Forgot Password" button or clear your browser cache/cookies before attempting another login.

2. Remita Payment "Pending" or Not Updating

If money was deducted from your bank but CAC still shows unpaid, copy your 12-digit RRR number from Remita, navigate to "Payment History" on CAC, and click "Re-query" to synchronize bank confirmation.

3. Application Marked "Queried"

A query means the CAC examiner noticed an issue (e.g. unreadable ID, name conflict, or incorrect address). Click on the application, read the query remarks, upload corrected documents, and re-submit for review.
