CRN number not accepted

LostYao — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:39:48 GMT

Hello, my company in the UK has just completed the registration, but it may take up to 7 working days to register a business account in square because the CRN is not synchronized to your database. What should I do to speed up this progress, thanks .

Hi @LostYao - thanks for your post and welcome to Square & the Seller Community 🙂

That's correct - it can take up to 7 business days for Square to detect new company registration numbers.

We don't have any way to speed this up, unfortunately, so I suggest trying again in a few days.

If you have any product-related questions going forward, let us know here or feel free to share some details on your business, we'd love to see it!

Is it still 7 days we have to wait?

Hey @MKGeocaching - yes, it can take up to 7 business days for Square to detect new CRNs, this process has not changed.

Disappointing to hear that your timings have not improved. Its worth noting your competitors have already updated their databases and allowed us to register.

I appreciate this feedback @MKGeocaching and will pass it on internally.
