A Form BEN2 is a document issued by the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership of Companies and Industrial and Provident Societies (RBO). It is required when a beneficial owner does not have a PPSN (Personal Public Service Number).
A PPSN is issued by Ireland’s Department of Social Protection to all Irish residents. When the RBO cannot verify a person’s identity through a PPSN, they will request a completed and witnessed Form BEN2 instead.
What Information Does Form BEN2 Contain?
The form includes the beneficial owner’s:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Residential address
- Nationality
This information must be formally verified and declared to be true by the beneficial owner in the presence of a witness.
Who Can Witness a Form BEN2?
If the form is being completed outside of Ireland, the witness must be a Notary Public.
Our Notary has extensive experience completing and notarising Form BEN2 declarations and will be happy to assist you.
Digital Scan for RBO Submission
Once your Form BEN2 has been properly completed and notarised, we can provide you with a digital scan of the document. This is particularly helpful, as the RBO requires a digital copy to be uploaded to their online portal.
