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.
- When the search returns nothing
- Search the number, previous name or business-name record. A trading label with no company-name result may require a business-name search rather than a broader fuzzy company match.
- What the record cannot establish
- A search result and a certified document are not the same evidence. Officer and filing availability depends on the source and document. Registry status alone does not assess solvency or trustworthiness.
Check current access and document options on the official Companies Registration Office (CRO) site. Keep the exact entity identifier, source URL and retrieval date with your evidence. A LemReveal record PDF is not a government-certified extract.

The CRO holds records for every Irish limited company, PLC, LLP, and unlimited company. Ireland's transparent register is a major reason it functions as an EU HQ hub — beneficial-ownership data is publicly filed via the RBO.
