# Legal Requirements

In order to fulfil the various organizational requirements, De Oude Weg Neighbourhood watch needs to become a registered non profit organization.

Having a legal entity enables us to apply for the following:

* ICASA licence exemption.
* Cape Town CCTV registration.
* Potential sponsorship investment from the City of Cape Town, and other governmental departments.

\
 The downside to becoming a legal entity is that we require a certified audit each year to be submitted to the registrar.

I have listed the main registration requirements in order as sub-pages within the Legal Requirements page on the left.
