Payment Methods
Payment may be made by:·
- Cash (it is not advisable to send cash by post)
- Postal Money order
- Bank draft/cheque
- Credit/Laser cards may be used for online company searches or online deposits to a customer account
- Deposit account with the CRO
Postal money orders/bank drafts/cheques should be made payable to the Companies Registration Office (full title).
Foreign currency, sterling and euro items drawn on banks outside the Republic of Ireland are not acceptable, because of service charges for cheque clearance. Therefore, payments from outside the Republic of Ireland for document registration, document requests and miscellaneous services must be on an euro denominated bank draft drawn on a bank in the Irish clearing system.
The CRO is unable at present to accept payment by credit card.(Credit/Laser cards may be used for online company searches or online deposits to a customer account only)
Bounced Cheques
In order to address a growing problem with dishonoured (ie bounced) cheques, the following measures are being strictly enforced by CRO with immediate effect:
(1) CRO will no longer accept cheques from companies/ presenters who have defaulted on payment in the past. In such cases, until such time as the outstanding debt to CRO is cleared, payment for all future filings must be by cash, postal money order or bank draft.
(2) CRO will reject submissions where a cheque bounces. Where a cheque used to pay for a submission is returned uncashed by the bank, the submission will be rejected for registration unless the cheque is replaced by cash, money/ postal order or bank draft within 14 days.
CRO would appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these rules.
