An annual check that the information Companies House holds about your company — registered office, directors, PSCs (people with significant control), shareholders and SIC codes — is still correct. You confirm it, or update anything that's changed, at least once every 12 months, on a rolling date set by your company's own "review period".

Almost certainly, yes. Companies House sends this reminder from ereminders@companieshouse.gov.uk, with a subject line naming your company: "File your confirmation statement now for [your company name]". It's worth checking your real date rather than acting on the email alone — use the checker above.

You can file up to 14 days after your company's review period ends. The checker above pulls your actual due date live from the Companies House register, rather than you having to calculate it yourself.

It's staged, not instant. First, an overdue note appears against your company on the public register — visible to anyone who looks it up. Companies House may then issue a financial penalty. If the statement still isn't filed, persistent failure can lead to Companies House starting the process to strike the company off the register. None of that is a reason to panic — it's very fixable, especially caught early.

Since 18 November 2025, every director has had to verify their identity with Companies House and supply their 11-character Companies House personal code on the confirmation statement — Companies House will not accept the statement until every director has done this. PSCs have their own, separate verification duties. If your filing seems stuck, an unverified director is often the real reason.

Companies House can post a replacement authentication code to your company's registered office — it isn't emailed or shown online, for security. It can take up to 10 working days to arrive, so it's worth checking well before your deadline rather than at the last minute.

Yes. A confirmation statement is separate from your accounts and Corporation Tax return — every UK company on the register has to file one at least once every 12 months, dormant or trading.

£75 all-in: £25 is our fee, and £50 is the fee Companies House itself charges on every confirmation statement — that part goes straight to Companies House, and no provider can waive it. There's nothing else to pay.

Yes. You confirm your company's details, we prepare the statement, validate it against Companies House's own filing rules, and submit it directly — £25 our fee plus the £50 government fee, £75 total. Search your company above and use "Start my filing" to get going.
