Form CR8 — notice of a director's residential address

Form CR8 notifies the Registrar of a director's residential address, or a change of it, under section 138 of the Companies Act, 2015. You file it at registration (with the directors' details) and again whenever a director's residential address later changes.

Directors have both a service address (used publicly) and a residential address (protected). CR8 is how the residential address is recorded with the Registrar, and keeping it current is a legal obligation.

List each affected director and their residential address, and have the person lodging the notice sign in the capacity stated.

What Form CR8 captures

  • ◆The company's name and number
  • ◆Each affected director's name and residential (or new residential) address
  • ◆The name, address, phone and email of the person lodging the notice
  • ◆The signature, capacity and date

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ✕A vague address — it must identify the physical location, not just a P.O. Box
  • ✕Not filing a fresh CR8 after a director moves
  • ✕Leaving the lodging person's capacity blank
  • ✕Listing more than five directors on one form (use another form for the rest)

Questions

When do I file CR8?

At registration, and again whenever a director's residential address changes. It keeps the Registrar's record current, as section 138 requires.

Is a director's residential address public?

The residential address is protected information held by the Registrar; a service address is used publicly. CR8 records the residential address with the Registrar.

How detailed must the address be?

Sufficient to identify the physical location of the residence — building, street, estate/town and county — not just a postal box.

Who signs the CR8?

The person lodging it on behalf of the company (for example a director or the company secretary), stating the capacity in which they sign.
