When will I receive my EPR registration number?
The registration number is issued by the competent authority or national register once the relevant registration process has been completed. AuthoriseMe cannot issue the number itself.
As a general indication, registrations often take around one to three months, but the actual timeline depends on the country, authority, completeness of the documents and whether any additional PRO or Authorised Representative steps are required. In countries where new AR procedures are still being implemented, the process can take longer.
Once the competent authority or register has issued the registration number, we communicate it to you as part of the onboarding process. A pending application should not be treated as equivalent to an already issued registration number.
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?
