Company Secretary Service Ireland

Nominee Secretary

The service covers a 12-month nominee company secretary engagement. We review the company setup, confirm the appointment details and explain the support included in your engagement. Renewal is arranged separately; this checkout does not create an automatic subscription.

What is included?

The appointment is supported by CRO compliance reminders, guidance on officer filings and statutory records. The team will request the company details and supporting documents needed to complete the appointment after payment.

What is separate?

Annual return preparation, registered office address services, share changes and other filings are separate unless expressly included in your agreement. Our annual return filing service and registered office address can be ordered separately.

For a change to an existing secretary, our secretary-change filing service costs €100. Buying the annual appointment does not automatically order a separate filing service.

Who needs a company secretary?

Every Irish company must have a company secretary. A sole director of an Irish LTD cannot also be its secretary, so a separate appointment is needed. Directors remain responsible for their statutory duties even when a professional secretary supports administration.

Before ordering

Missing a share certificate? Use our Irish share-certificate replacement checklist before treating it as a routine reprint. A standalone replacement, historic record reconstruction or legal review needs a separately agreed scope; it is not automatically included in the annual secretary appointment.

Looking for a nominee director? Read our nominee director versus company secretary guide before ordering. This secretary appointment does not provide an EEA-resident director or resolve the separate director-residence requirement.

Planning annual shareholder decisions? Read our Irish LTD AGM and written-resolution guide for member approvals, accounts timing and records. Confirm any bespoke drafting or legal review separately; the secretary appointment does not automatically include that work.

Buying filing assistance does not itself appoint a secretary. Read our company secretary versus filing agent guide to separate the company office, EFA authority, annual-return signatures and accounts certification.

If an existing secretary has resigned, use our replacement and continuity checklist to separate the ongoing appointment from the officer filing and outstanding work.

Check whether you already have an appointed secretary, whether a change filing is needed and whether your company formation package includes any relevant support. We will confirm the scope and required checks before the service begins.
