RMA Letter of Good Standing
Prove your company is COID compliant
An RMA letter of good standing shows that your company is registered with Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) and up to date with its workers’ compensation obligations. Clients, mines and government departments often ask for it before they award a contract or let you on site. We submit your Return of Earnings, check your RMA account and get your letter for you.

What is RMA?
Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) is licensed under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) to provide workers’ compensation cover, mainly for employers in the mining and related industries. If your company is registered with RMA rather than the Compensation Fund, your letter of good standing comes from RMA.
When do you need one?
Clients, mines and government departments often ask for it.
Tendering for government or mining contracts
Getting access to a mine or client site
Renewing a supplier or contractor registration
After submitting your annual Return of Earnings
How to get your letter
Three things need to be in place.
1. Submit your Return of Earnings
Your annual declaration of employee earnings to RMA
2. Pay your assessment
Based on your earnings and industry
3. Receive your letter
Issued once your RMA account is up to date
Why it matters
Without a valid letter of good standing, you may be turned away from tenders, site access or supplier lists, even if your company is otherwise compliant. Missing a Return of Earnings or an assessment payment can also lead to penalties from RMA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RMA and the Compensation Fund?
Both administer COIDA. RMA mainly covers the mining and related industries, while the Compensation Fund covers most other employers. Your letter comes from whichever one you’re registered with.
How do I get an RMA letter of good standing?
Submit your annual Return of Earnings and pay your assessment. Once your account is up to date, RMA issues the letter. We can do this for you.
How long is the letter valid?
It’s linked to your annual Return of Earnings cycle, so it needs to be renewed each year after you submit your next return.
Can a client verify my letter?
Yes. Letters can be verified with RMA, so make sure the details on yours are correct and current.
We’re not registered with RMA yet. Can you help?
Yes. We handle RMA registration too, so you can get your letter of good standing once you’re registered.
