Common confusion points
Confusing 'Issue' vs. 'Renewal': If your licence expired last month, it is a Renewal, even if you are applying for a new period.
Not knowing where to send it: The form applies to the Courts Service of Ireland generally, but you must find the specific department address/portal.
The difference between an application and a notification: This form *is* the formal notice of your application.
Thinking CRO registration is enough: You still need this 89.3 notice even if you are registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO).
