Process
How this package is delivered
The registry stages are marked. Their outcome and timing belong to the authority, and the platform reports only what the authority records.

Intake and document collection
YouA structured intake collects identity evidence, structure details and the documents the registry expects. You can save and resume it.
Filing pack prepared by the appointed provider
Qualified providerA qualified corporate service provider prepares the constitutional documents and the filing pack, and raises information requests where something is missing.
Resident director and secretary position resolved
YouThe resident-director requirement is resolved before filing, either from your own team or through a provider arrangement.
Filed with the registry
Qualified providerThe filing is submitted to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. From this point the outcome is in the authority's hands and the platform reports its state, it does not predict it.
Registry processing
External authorityOutcome not controlled by ZKCAPThe authority reviews the filing. It may accept it, raise an objection, or ask for further information. Each of those states is shown as it happens.
Incorporation outcome recorded
External authorityOutcome not controlled by ZKCAPAcceptance produces the registry documents and the company record set. A rejection or objection opens a recovery path with the provider rather than ending the project.
