Companies Act 2014 section 888A

Cases in which director must supply certain data

Section 888A requires directors to provide their Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) — or alternative identification approved by the Registrar — when filing certain key company documents with the Companies Registration Office.

• Directors must include their PPSN on applications to incorporate a company, annual returns, and notifications of changes to directors or secretaries.
• Where a director does not hold a PPSN, they must instead provide alternative identification information as determined by the Registrar.
• This obligation applies notwithstanding any restrictions on the use of PPSNs contained in the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005.
• Failure to comply without just cause is a category 4 offence under the Companies Act 2014.
