Beneficial Owners with no PPSN

The Registrar of Beneficial Ownership is obliged by law to verify the identity of beneficial owners in order to comply with the EU’s Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive that requires the register to be “adequate, accurate and current”.

For beneficial owners who do not have a PPSN, the Registrar has determined that an Identified Person Number (IPN) can be used.

An IPN is issued by the CRO after a VIF has been successfully completed on CORE and the number can be used when filing any relevant CRO/RBO document(s).

Please direct any questions on IPNs to directorid@cro.ie.
