In terms of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), all Responsible Parties are obliged to appoint and register an Information Officer (and potentially Deputy Information Officers) with the South African Information Regulator.

For several months, the Regulator’s online portal for the registration of Information Officers has been ‘under construction’. As a result, many organisations chose to submit their registration forms to the Information Regulator manually via email.

However, as of 1 September 2022, the online portal is finally live.

Next steps:

Organisations that have not yet registered their Information Officers, and who are currently processing personal information, should completed their registrations using the online portal as soon as possible.

Organisations that have already submitted their registrations manually, via email, are not required to re-register using the online portal

Download the form now and include it as part of your POPIA/data compliance program today.

From the Regulator’s desk.

Unfortunately, the technical issues with the online portal have been a thorn in the side of every eager applicant. Our best (and only) advice is to “keep trying” or “go the manual route”, as suggested here.
