Registered office address in Dublin: a proper Irish address for your company

Every Irish company needs a registered office. It's where the CRO, Revenue and the courts send official post, and it goes on the public record. If you don't want to use your home, or you live abroad, we can provide one, and make sure the post that arrives actually reaches you.

What the law requires

Four rules for a registered office

These come from the Companies Act 2014 and the CRO's own guidance.

In the StateIt can be anywhere in the Republic of Ireland. An address abroad, or in Northern Ireland, doesn't qualify.
A physical locationPeople have the right to visit it to inspect certain registers and to deliver documents by hand.
Not just a PO boxA PO box on its own isn't enough, and post must be deliverable by An Post.
Kept up to dateChanges go to the CRO on Form B2 within 14 days, and take effect when the CRO registers them.
It doesn't have to be where you work. The registered office is a legal address, separate from your trading address. It also doesn't solve the EEA director rule by itself. Read about non-EEA directors.
Your options

Whose address should it be?

Simplest

Your own address

Free and easy if you live or work in Ireland. The catch: your address goes on the public record, and every official letter lands at your door.

Most popular for overseas owners

A registered office agent

A company approved by the Registrar to act as your registered office. It keeps your home address off the register and handles your official post.

If you have premises

Your business premises

If you rent an office or unit in Ireland, you can register it. Just remember to file a change if you move.

Why it matters

Why you shouldn't treat it casually

Post counts as delivered

A document sent to the address on the CRO record is treated as delivered to the company, even if you've moved and didn't update it.

It's an offence to neglect it

Failing to maintain a registered office, or failing to file a required Form B2, is an offence under company law.

Missed post, missed deadlines

Court papers and CRO notices come here. Ignoring them can lead to bigger problems.

Quick answers

Registered office questions

Can I use my home address as the registered office?
Yes, if it's in Ireland. Remember it will appear on the public register.
Can a company based abroad have an Irish registered office?
Yes, and it must. The address has to be in the State, so overseas owners usually use a registered office agent.
Is a registered office the same as a business address?
No. The registered office is the official legal address and is filed with the CRO. A business or correspondence address is a private choice you can change freely.
What documents are kept at the registered office?
Certain statutory registers are kept there, or at another place the company notifies. Members and others may have the right to inspect them.
