Using CRO Account System
Documents can be purchased, using the Company Search Facility on the CRO website, if you have an account with us as well as paying by credit card. The account must be kept in credit at all times or documents cannot be purchased. This account can also be used to lodge documents with the CRO.
As an account holder with this Office it is possible to request company printouts and images of documents returned by fax or e-mail. Company printouts are a synopsis of the company, including details of directors, registered office, documents received and mortgage charges registered against the company. An image of a document is a facsimile of a document received from the company. Document types include annual return and accounts, notification of change of company directors or change of registered office. Status of company
Prospective account holders should also make particular note of the methods of payment as the CRO is currently limited in the ways in which payment can be made. An account can also be topped up by credit card using the site.

Payment Authorisation
If you have an account with the CRO, you can authorise the CRO to debit your account when submitting forms to the Office using the Payment Authorisation Form (PAF). When the application form (A/c1) has been approved, a book of Payment Authorisation Forms (PAF) is posted to the contact person but only where the relevant section of the form a/c1 has been completed.
A completed PAF must be lodged with each set of documents presented for filing in the CRO. Only those persons listed on the form a/c1 can sign a PAF. Where a customer wishes to add a new authorised signatory, he/she must complete and resubmit the form to the CRO in advance of submitting a PAF.
