How long does the registration process take?
A registration typically takes around one to three months, but the actual timing depends on several factors. These include the country, the responsible authority, the completeness of the documentation, the required PRO setup and whether the relevant national register or Authorised Representative process is already fully operational.
Some registrations can therefore be completed more quickly, while others may take longer. In countries where the new AR procedure is still being implemented, a fixed completion date may not yet be possible.
Once we have the required documents and can start the process, we will guide you through the next steps. If the process depends on a national register or authority that is not yet operational, we will keep the booking in our process and inform you when implementation moves forward.
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.
Still unsure how your setup is judged?
