Is this COIDA Letter of Good Standing valid?
A Letter of Good Standing is only valid until the expiry date the Compensation Fund holds for its certificate number. Answer a few questions to see what your situation means and what to do next.
Question 1
How to confirm it on the official portal
- Type cfonline.labour.gov.za/VerifyLOGS into your browser yourself rather than following a link someone sent you.
- Enter the certificate number printed on the letter (CERTIFICATE NO). The CF registration number or company registration number won’t work.
- Check that the trade name, issue date and expiry date the Fund returns match the paper letter.
- Make sure the expiry date covers the whole period you need, and save a dated screenshot. Re-check on long contracts.
This checker doesn't look up your records. It tells you what your situation usually means; the official portal has the final answer.
