ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DIRECTOR CHANGE REGISTRATION

How to register Change of Director?

Form B10 is filed by a company in order to notify the appointment of an officer post-incorporation, the cessation of an officer’s appointment (resignation, death, removal, etc.) and to notify the CRO of a change in particulars in relation to an officer e.g. change of name or a new residential address.

When to register Change of Director?

Form B10 is required to be sent to the CRO within 14 days of the change occurring. Failure to file Form B10 constitutes an offence. 

 

What details are included in B10?

  • Personal details (name, address, DOB, nationality, profession) of the new director or secretary.
  • Effective date of the appointment of the new officers.
  • Details of other directorships which would include any directorships from within the last five years, incorporated in the State or elsewhere.
  • Signature of the new director or secretary. Form B10 must be signed by the new director consenting to act as director of the company and a current director or secretary must countersign the document to certify that the information is true and correct. It cannot be signed by an officer who has resigned.

 

B10 for Single-Person Companies

Minimum Number of Directors

Every company type with the exception of a Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD company) must have a minimum number of two directors. A limited company may have one director if it so chooses.

Accordingly, Form B10 will be returned by the CRO to the presenter if the registration of the notified termination(s) of a directorship(s) would result in the company having less than the statutory minimum number of directors.

Company Secretary Requirement
A limited company may have one director if it so chooses but it must have a separate secretary however.

Where Form B10 notifies the CRO of the cessation of appointment of a secretary, a replacement secretary is required to be notified on the form, having regard to the statutory requirement that every company must have a secretary. Form B10 will be returned by the CRO to the presenter if the registration of the notified termination of the secretary's appointment would result in the company having no secretary recorded.

 

Non-EU Director change

There is a legal requirement for limited companies to have at least one director resident in a member State (EEA-Resident Director).

Where the termination of a directorship notified on Form B10 leaves the company without a European Economic Area (EEA)* - resident director, the company should lodge either a security bond with the B10 or obtain a section 140 certificate.

* The UK is leaving the European Union as of January 31st 2020 but with transitionary provisions in place until 31st December 2020. During this period the director resident in the UK is considered a EEA-resident director. However thereafter, if no agreement is in place, UK resident directors will be required to comply with the security bond requirement if there is no an EEA-resident director.
