Credit Services Organization Registration

CREDIT SERVICES ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION APPLICATION

DIRECTIONS:

In order to obtain a Certificate of Registration from the Department of Justice as required by Califomia Civil Code section 1789.25, you must complete the application and provide all required documents. Please submit the application, along with a copy of your contract, information statement, separate notice of cancellation, and all other documents your organization requires the buyer to sign. Please send this information with a $100 filing fee made payable to the Department of Justice to:

Department of Justice
Attorney General's Office
P.O. Box 85266
San Diego, CA 92186-5266

Before a Certificate of Registration can be obtained, it will be necessary for the credit services organization to obtain a bond in the amount of $100,000, or make a deposit in lieu of the bond, and to file a copy with the Secretary of State. We will not issue the Certificate of Registration until the Secretary of State acknowledges that the bond or deposit has been properly filed. Please contact the Secretary of State to obtain the necessary forms.

Secretary of State
Special Filings Unit
1500 11th Street
Sacramento, CA 95814

This application will not be processed until the completed application form, all required documents, and the $100 fee have been received, and the Secretary of State has acknowledged receipt of the bond or deposit.

Any Certificate of Registration issued will expire at the end of the year it is issued. It is your responsibility to renew your registration before January 1st of each year. No renewal notice or reminder will be sent.
