What is the difference between received and registered as regards documents submitted to the CRO?
I am very interested in this. I recently filed an online B1 for a company. I was notified by email the other day that the status had changed to received. I did a search on the company and they had already updated the next ARD to next year. Seems strange they would do this if there was a chance of rejecting the return. Maybe online B1's are treated differently?Received means just that - They have recieved it (posted or delivered by customer, paid for and entered onto the system and scanned for public viewing), but is awaiting further processing. Documents with a received status can and often are returned for amendments to be made.
Registered means that information contained on the form has been checked and if correct are then "registered" and the CRO Register is updated to reflect this - director details, registered office details, share/mortgage details and so on.
Documents that appear as Registered are locked and cannot be returned for any reason unless a High Court order is obtained.

Sometimes when the companies are incorporated, they can be classified as 'private limited by shares' rather than 'single member limited by shares.' If this happens in future you should give the CRO a call and the classification can be checked and changed if necessary.There was an issue when I went to file the B1 online. It kept telling me it was not a single member company, despite me setting it up as one. It let me file the return and it then told me to file a form M1 for free. I assume that there was some error when the CRO originally incorporated the company. I submitted a M1 backdated to the date of incorporation, hopefully that will fix the problem.
There do seem to be some problems with the online system.
