Can I book the service if the Authorised Representative process is not yet fully implemented in a country?
Yes, where the service is already available for booking, you can book it even if the practical national procedure has not yet been fully implemented. This is currently relevant in several countries where registers, PROs or national authorities are still finalising the technical or legal process for appointing an Authorised Representative.
Your booking is recorded by AuthoriseMe and you are included in our ongoing implementation process. As soon as the relevant national procedure becomes available, we contact you with the next steps and request any additional information or documents that may be required.
This means you do not need to restart the booking process later. However, the booking itself should not be understood as confirmation that a formal appointment or registration has already been completed where the national procedure is not yet available.
These answers give general orientation on EPR and Authorised Representative requirements. They are not a binding legal assessment of an individual business model. National implementation and individual supply chains differ; the setup that applies to you is confirmed during onboarding.
