General Instructions from the CRO regarding signature pages

• The Companies Registration Office (CRO) will not accept electronically signed documents. The signature page(s) must be physically signed i.e. “wet-ink”.
• Submissions properly dated in the format Day/Month/Year (European Format).
• Dates to correctly reflect date form was signed, consequently back-dating and post-dating is prohibited.
• Signatures & dates to be contained within the designated section on the Signature and/or Consent pages.
• Clear, clean submissions acceptable, barcodes and signatories etc must be legible. pages must be fully viewable as they are statutory forms and are a matter of public record and anyone with a visual impairment may not be able to see the signature/date.
• Pages should be scanned to portrait alignment at 100% size [downsizing reduces quality of the scan] and the full version of both pages MUST be fully viewable.
• The CRO is experiencing some issues with incorrectly signed and dated form B10s, which is resulting in an increasing number of these forms being returned
• Submissions can be rejected if they do not meet the above criteria. If a submission is rejected, then a new submission must be prepared.
