Corporate Revival

General Overview

If you miss 2 consecutive corporate annual returns, your corporation will be struck by Alberta Corporate Registries. The articles of revival must be filed before your corporation can continue carrying on business in Alberta. Please note that all outstanding annual returns must be filed before a company can be revived.

Corporations cannot be revived if they have been dissolved for 10 or more years.

Who Can Revive a Dissolved Corporation?

1. Any interested person may revive a dissolved corporation.

An interested person is anyone who:

Has monetary or legal rights who has been affected by the corporation’s dissolution (e.g. a director, shareholder or creditor) and/or

Had a direct relationship with the corporation before it was dissolved

2. Interested person with no direct relationship to the Alberta corporation

If the interested person was never authorized to complete annual returns, or address, or director updates, the articles of revival must be sent to Corporate Registry. A revival fee may also apply. Call Corporate Registry at 780-422-1705 before you mail the forms.
