Your EU AI Act Authorised Representative in Ireland
Based outside the EU and selling AI into Europe? If your AI is used in a sensitive area, or you build a foundation model, the EU requires you to appoint an official representative here before you go to market. We're that representative.
- Based in Ireland, recognised by EU regulators
- Officially appointed by signed letter
- Your compliance documents checked and kept safe for 10 years
- One contact point for EU regulators, so they talk to us, not you
Custom pricing, quoted per system or model. We typically reply within one business day.
Built and run by European privacy professionals from Dublin and London. No outsourcing, no offshore support.
Dublin, London and Las Vegas. Real addresses, real staff.
Companies from the US, UK, Asia and beyond trust us as their representative in the EU and UK.
Does this apply to you?
There are two situations where the AI Act says you need a representative. Pick the one that sounds like you.
I build or sell an AI system
- You're not based in the EU
- Your AI is used in a sensitive area, things like hiring, credit decisions, exam grading, face or voice recognition, running utilities or transport. Or it is built into a product that already needs EU safety certification, like a medical device, machinery or a vehicle
- You sell it to EU customers, or run it for them
Deadline
Rules apply from 2 December 2027 (or 2 August 2028 if it is built into a certified product). Your representative must be in place before you sell in the EU.
Article 22 AI Act · "high-risk AI systems" under Annex III and Annex I
This only applies if you build or sell the AI. If you just use someone else's AI tool, you don't need this.
I build a foundation model
- You're not based in the EU
- You provide a large general-purpose model, an LLM, image, audio or multimodal model, that others build on
- You make it available to EU users or businesses
Deadline
Already applies, since 2 August 2025.
Article 54 AI Act · "general-purpose AI models"
Exempt if the model is fully open-source, with weights, architecture and usage info all public, and it isn't one of the most powerful models the EU classes as systemic-risk.
Not sure which you are? Many companies are both. Ask us and we'll tell you in plain English.
Your EU importers and distributors must check that you have a representative before they're allowed to sell your product.

What the representative actually does
This isn't a mailbox. The AI Act gives your representative real jobs. Here's what we do for you, in plain terms.
Check your paperwork before you launch
Before you sell in the EU, we confirm your technical file, your signed compliance statement and your compliance check are all done. If something's missing, we tell you what.
▸ Legal detail
The technical file is your technical documentation. The signed compliance statement is the EU declaration of conformity. The compliance check is the conformity assessment. For foundation models we verify the Annex XI documentation and the Article 53 duties instead.
Keep your documents safe for 10 years
Regulators can ask to see your paperwork for a decade after launch. We hold it and hand it over if asked. You don't need to dig it out.
▸ Legal detail
We keep your contact details, the declaration of conformity, the technical documentation and any certificate from the certification body (notified body) at the disposal of the national regulators for 10 years after the system or model is placed on the market.
Be the regulator's contact
If an EU regulator has questions about your AI, they come to us. We handle the request and pass you a plain-English summary of what's needed and by when.
▸ Legal detail
The signed appointment letter (the written mandate) lets the EU's AI regulator (the AI Office) and the national regulators address us in addition to or instead of you. On reasoned request we provide the information needed to demonstrate compliance, including access to automatically generated logs where you control them.
Work with regulators if something goes wrong
If a regulator takes action on your system, we're on the call so you don't have to find a European lawyer at short notice.
▸ Legal detail
The Act requires the representative to cooperate with the regulators on any action taken in relation to the system or model, in particular to reduce and mitigate its risks.
Register your system
Sensitive-use AI systems must be listed in the EU's public register. We do the registration or check yours is right.
▸ Legal detail
Registration in the EU database for high-risk AI systems under Article 49. Applies to Annex III systems, not to foundation models.
How the appointment works: It's a signed letter covering the specific systems or models you tell us about. The law requires us to end it, and tell the regulator, if a company stops complying. Clean paperwork protects you as much as it protects us.
