Written answers

The Registrar of Companies is a statutory role and the Registrar has administrative independence in the exercise of this function.

I understand that documents filed electronically with the CRO can be authenticated using ROS (Revenue Online Signature). I am informed that, at present, ROS is the only fully authenticated electronic signing solution that is acceptable to the Registrar.

Arising from a major upgrade of the CRO IT system that went live with effect from 16th December 2020, there is now greater scope for complete electronic filing by companies. This includes the most common activities such as the filing of annual returns and the changing of directors and their details. Following the bedding in of the new system, I understand that the Registrar expects to give further consideration to the possible use of additional electronic signature options.
