IMPLEMENTATION OF REQUIRED PPS NUMBERS FOR COMPANY DIRECTORS GROWS NEAR 7 February 2023

Now as we enter the second month of 2023, we would like to draw attention back to the looming implementation of the CRO's requirement for Personal Public Service (PPS) numbers from company directors.

The CRO will require PPS numbers on certain forms to verify the identity of individuals acting as directors of Irish companies before the end of Q1 2023. Directors of Irish companies will be required to provide a PPS number when:

• Incorporating a new company (CRO Form A1)
• Filing an annual return (CRO Form B1)
• Notifying a change of director (CRO Form B10)

It is envisioned that if a director does not have a PPS number, the individual can apply for a ‘CRO number’. This procedure is expected to be similar to the Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO) filing, whereby the beneficial owner can apply for an ‘RBO number’.
