Societies in Kenya can be registered under the Societies Act, including political parties, churches, welfare associations, sports associations, and private member clubs. To register a society, an application must include the proposed name, objects of the society, names and details of at least 10 members, the constitution, and Forms A and B. The registration procedure involves conducting a name search, preparing the required documents, submitting the application and constitution with the fee to the registrar of societies, who will then issue a certificate of registration if approved.
