Address Change

Every company is required by law to file a notice of the situation of its registered office in the State. This is the address to which all official documents, notices, court papers are required to be sent by law.

PO Box not acceptable

The address must be a physical location, not just a post office box number because people have the right to visit the company's registered office to inspect certain registers and documents and to deliver documents by hand. The address should be such as to enable the delivery of correspondence by An Post.

A company may notify any change in the location of its registered office by sending a completed Form B2 to the CRO. This notification ought to be filed within 14 days of the change. It is an offence not to notify the CRO. Form B2 has a filing fee of €15. A Form B2 can be filed online for free using www.core.ie.
