Online electrical contractor registration

[GCE]

Trying to renew my DOL contractor registration is proving to be a bigger challenge than expected ... looks like we going to be a pirate contractor another 10 years .

You cant renew online ... maybe nobody at the DOL has the skills to use a computer or maybe they dont have computers

The ECA dont do it anymore .for the same reason.

.

The ECA still renew DOL contractor registration for members and non members in all offices
It will take the same amount of time that it takes an individual , so it cant be left to the last minute

I contacted the ECA to enquire about DOL registration ... The answer was no they do not do DOL registration ... they do sell the COC's to anyone.

I am told some of the ECA branches do still do DOL registration ... however not all of them.

Pity you aren't in the Eastern Cape. Online DOL renewal easy peasy. ( sorry, only for EC contractors ).

The Durban office confirmed in a meeting yesterday that they do members and non members DOL registration

Interesting ... someone should relay the information to the person who answers the phone.

Will leave that for Dave to do - I am perceived to be obstructive

I contacted 031-3126313 today at 10.55 am and confirmed they DO NOT and confirmed they haven't done it since September last year ... seems there is some confusion at the ECA.

I have just had a chat with Lynn (who took your call, Ian). It is clear that the front desk is out of step with the Kzn Regional Director's understanding. I have asked Lynn to have a chat with Shantonette about it.

The background is the Chief Inspector issued a directive that renewals must happen within the region the contractor operates in about September last year. Up until then Kzn had been sending renewals to be processed through Pretoria (as doing renewals via the Durban DoL office is a nightmare). Seems like Lynn has taken it that that was the end of the ECA's renewal assistance program

I made a plan and got mine done for the next 3 years ... lets see what happens in 3 years time
