What is a confirmation statement?
Even if your company is not trading you must still file a Confirmation Statement past the first year of trading.
To complete your confirmation statement you will need to submit information about:
- Your registers of debentures and members.
- Details of your company's shares (nominal value, voting rights, aggregate value and amount paid up/ unpaid).
- The business' principal activities using Standard Industry Codes.
- You must also remember to notify Companies House of any changes to your director's, shareholding, PSCs and secretary before completing the statement.
- Your Companies House personal code for each director and PSC
Failure to complete it on time may result in your company being struck off the register.
Important from 18 November 2025: All directors and persons with significant control (PSCs) must provide their Companies House personal code to file a confirmation statement. This is an 11 character code you receive after verifying your identity through GOV.UK One Login. Without this code, your confirmation statement cannot be filed.
Don't have your personal code yet? We can obtain it for you for £29.99 per person.
If you have ordered Duport's Company Filing or Dormant Accounts service, your Confirmation Statement will be submitted as part of that service.
