Using Duplicate Certificate

Obtaining Duplicate Certificate without Original Signature

You can obtain a Duplicate Certificate for public sector use only which is free of charge, simply by entering an email address and the company/business name number.  You will be asked to confirm the name before proceeding to enter your email address. This is done because you can order either a business name or company certificate and you should make sure you have chosen the correct one before proceeding. You can check your number using the Company Search facility.

Obtaining a Duplicate Certificate with Original Signature

There are several ways to obtain this certificate.

1. Call in to the public office at 14 Parnell Square, Dublin 1, where you can obtain a short certificate (no previous names on the certificate). Occasionally it is not possible to generate a long certificate (showing all previous names) at the time of the request. In these cases the certificate will be available in two to three working days and may then be collected or posted to the customer.

2. Write in to Postal Enquiries, Companies Registration Office, Parnell House, 14 Parnell Square, Dublin 1, stating the company/business name and number (if available). Where applicable, please indicate if you want the duplicate cert to show any previous company names.

3. If you hold an account with the Companies Registration Office, you can e-mail your request to Postal Enquiries.  Please state your account number, authorisation for deduction from your account and whether or not the cert is to be posted to you or will be collected.

The fee for a Duplicate Certificate is €12 and when requested by post there is also a €1 (overall) fee for postage.
