    How do I use CRO Ireland for free in Ireland?

    LemReveal's basic registry lookup is free. The official CRO Ireland service at https://www.cro.ie has its own access rules: distinguish basic search, officer information, filed documents, certified extracts and API access. Do not assume these are all free or available without an account.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open CRO Ireland

      Go to https://www.cro.ie and check the official search and access options.

    2. 2

      Check basic-search access

      Determine whether the required entity search is public, requires an account or carries a search fee. Do not confuse a free search-results list with a full company extract.

    3. 3

      Check the fields you need

      Find out whether officers, addresses and historical filings are included in the public result or require a separate document.

    4. 4

      Check document and API charges

      Review the official terms for extracts, certified copies, filings and data services. A free web lookup does not imply a free API or certification.

    Ireland: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use CRO's official company search and distinguish a company registration from a business-name registration. Review the filing record and any available officer document relevant to your question.
    Confirm the entity
    Compare the CRO number and legal name. A business name is a trading label and may be registered to an individual or another entity; identify that underlying contracting party.

    Check current access and document options on the official Companies Registration Office (CRO) site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the Ireland registry guide.
