Overview
What is CAC Change of Directors?
When a director joins or leaves, the company tells the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on Form CAC 7A, so the public record shows who runs it. Banks and tender desks often look at that record, so it pays to keep it current.
On Docufy you tick what changed, add the new and departing directors, and upload the board or shareholder resolution approving it. We prepare Form CAC 7A from your answers for a director to sign on your phone. A vetted partner firm files it, and the CAC acknowledgement lands in your vault as a PDF with a verify link.
Who needs this
Any registered company whose board has changed: a new director joining, or a director resigning, retiring, being removed or passing away. If the CAC record doesn’t match your board, this is how you fix it.
Requirements
What you'll need.
Have these ready. Snap papers with your phone camera. The form saves as you go, so you can leave and come back.
- Your RC or IT number, what is changing and the date it takes effect.
- For each new director: full name, date of birth, NIN, BVN, address, email, phone, gender, nationality and occupation, plus a passport photograph and an ID.
- For each departing director: their name, the date they left and why. A resignation or departure letter helps, if you have one.
- The names and roles of the directors who remain.
- A board or shareholder resolution approving the change, signed and sealed. Add the notice of meeting if one was needed.
- A death certificate, if a director has died.

Questions
Things people ask about cac change of directors.
How much does a CAC change of directors cost in 2026?
The price on this page covers the CAC fee, our service fee and VAT on our fee. You see it before you pay, and we add no markup to the CAC fee. Penalties for late annual returns are set by the CAC and are not part of this price.
Do my annual returns need to be up to date?
Yes. The CAC processes a change of directors only when the company’s annual returns and persons with significant control (PSC) details are up to date. If your returns are behind, file them first. You can start that on Docufy too.
Can I record more than one change at once?
Yes. Tick every change that applies, such as one director joining and another resigning. They go on the same Form CAC 7A.
Do I need a board resolution?
Yes. Upload a board or shareholder resolution approving the change, signed and sealed. If your articles call for a notice of meeting, upload that too.
Do I need to visit a CAC office?
No. There is no office visit. You fill the form, upload the resolution and pay on your phone, and a vetted partner firm files the change.
