What is a CRN?
- CRN stands for Company Reference Number. A CRN is a unique identifier composed of a combination of numbers and letters and is assigned by the government upon company registration.
Where can I find it?
- CRN usually appears in all invoices or official documents, but can also be found on your company's website, your email signatures, e-registries of your country.
Why is it needed?
- This is used as a unique company identifier in the system, so make sure you have the right number before registering to avoid mistakes. If you aren't sure what the number is, please consult with your colleagues to double-check.
- GoRamp only works with registered companies so it is important for proving the legitimacy of a company, so CRN is mandatory.
Are there alternatives?
CRN is used in the United Kingdom, for example, but other countries have their local equivalents:
- EIN - United States
- ACN - Australia
- KRS - Poland
- Canadian Business Number - Canada
