Take Action on Director's PPSNs now

In an effort to reduce the risk of identity theft, the CRO will begin to enforce Section 35 of the Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Act 2021 starting on June 11th, 2023.

This section contains a provision requiring all directors of Irish companies to provide their Personal Public Service Number or VIN's (Verification of Identity Numbers) when making certain filings i.e.

Form A1 (Company Formation)

Form B10 (Change in Directors)

Form B1 (Annual Return) and

Form B69 (Notification of resigned Director.)

What Should Directors Do To Prepare?

Check their details with the DEASP- The CRO will crosscheck a director’s PPSN, name and date of birth with the information held by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
