What is a Confirmation Statement?
A confirmation statement confirms that the information held about a company on the Companies House register is accurate on a specific date. Every company must file at least one statement every 12 months, including dormant and non-trading companies, and submit it within 14 days after its review period ends. Failure to file is a criminal offence and can result in a fine of up to £5,000 or the company being struck off.
What Can You Update Through Form CS01?
Before filing, check that the following information held by Companies House is correct - not all of it can be changed through form CS01:
- Registered office address
- Directors and company secretary
- People with significant control (PSCs)
- Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes
- Statement of capital
- Trading status of shares
- Shareholder information
You can update SIC codes, the statement of capital, the trading status of shares, an exemption from providing PSC information and shareholder information through form CS01. If the company has not previously provided a registered email address, it must provide one with the confirmation statement. Changes to an existing registered email address, registered office, company officers, PSC details or new share allotments require separate Companies House filings.
Is Our Confirmation Statement Filing Service Right for You?
Companies Approaching Their Filing Deadline
If your company’s confirmation statement deadline is approaching, this service helps you avoid handling the CS01 yourself. We review the information you provide and manage one filing, allowing you to focus on running the company while keeping its Companies House record current.
Dormant or Non-Trading Companies
Dormant and non-trading companies must still file a confirmation statement at least once every 12 months, even when no company information has changed. This service is suitable if you want the required CS01 prepared and submitted without completing the filing yourself.
Companies With an Overdue CS01
If your company has one or more overdue confirmation statements, we can help bring its filing record up to date by preparing and submitting each required CS01. Each £90 + VAT order covers one statement, giving every outstanding filing a separate review and submission.
Companies Requiring CS01-Eligible Updates
This service is suitable when your confirmation statement includes changes that can be reported through CS01, such as SIC codes, statement of capital or shareholder information. Changes requiring separate Companies House forms must be completed independently before the CS01 where necessary.
Identity Verification Before Filing Your Confirmation Statement
Companies House will not accept the confirmation statement until every director has verified their identity and the required Companies House personal codes have been provided.
Every director must complete Companies House identity verification. Once verified, each director receives a Companies House personal code that must be provided for their director role. Existing directors must complete identity verification in connection with the company’s next confirmation statement during the transition period ending on 18 November 2026.
If a director has not completed identity verification, Companies House will not accept the confirmation statement. The director must complete verification, and the required Companies House personal code must be provided before the CS01 can be accepted.
People with significant control (PSCs) must also verify their identity, but the deadline depends on their role. A PSC who is also a director must provide their PSC personal code within 14 days of the company’s confirmation statement date. A PSC who is not a director must provide their PSC personal code during the first 14 days of their birth month.
We Can Verify Your Directors and PSCs
Your Company Formations is an approved Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) and can complete Companies House identity verification for directors and people with significant control (PSCs). Director verification can be completed alongside the Confirmation Statement Filing Service, while PSC verification is completed according to the applicable PSC verification deadline.

Companies House Confirmation Statement Requirements
Every UK company must follow specific rules when reviewing and filing its confirmation statement.

-
File Within 14 Days
The confirmation statement must be filed within 14 days after the review period ends. Companies can check their confirmation date and filing deadline on the Companies House register.
-
File Even When Nothing Has Changed
A confirmation statement is still required when all company information remains correct. Filing confirms that the information held by Companies House has been reviewed and remains accurate and up to date.
-
Confirm Lawful Future Activities
Every confirmation statement must confirm that the company’s intended future activities are lawful. This requirement was introduced under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.

Complete Director Identity Verification
Companies House will not accept the confirmation statement until every director has verified their identity and the required Companies House personal codes have been provided.

Provide a Registered Email Address
If the company has not already supplied a registered email address, it must provide one when filing. Companies House uses this address to contact the company and does not publish it on the public register.

A confirmation statement confirms that the information Companies House holds about a company is accurate and up to date. It supports the public register by confirming or updating permitted information about business activities, share capital, share trading status, PSC exemptions and shareholders.
Not exactly. The confirmation statement replaced the annual return on 30 June 2016. Both filings help keep Companies House records current, but the confirmation statement uses form CS01 and asks the company to check and confirm its existing information rather than resubmit everything each year.
Yes. Every UK limited company, including dormant and non-trading companies, must file at least one confirmation statement every 12 months, even when nothing has changed. It must be filed within 14 days after the company’s review period ends.
The review period is the 12 months covered by a confirmation statement. For the first statement, it begins on the incorporation date. Later review periods begin the day after the confirmation date shown on the company’s previous statement.
Yes. You can file before the current review period ends. Filing early creates a new confirmation date, and the next 12-month review period begins on the following day. This will also change when the company’s next confirmation statement is due.
Company directors remain legally responsible for ensuring an accurate confirmation statement is filed on time, even when an agent submits it. Failure to file is a criminal offence and can result in prosecution, a fine of up to £5,000 or the company being struck off.
You can file the confirmation statement yourself online or by post, or appoint an agent to submit it for the company. Your Company Formations can review the company information, prepare form CS01 and submit it to Companies House on your behalf.
You need to provide your company number and six-character Companies House authentication code. The authentication code is a company-specific code used to authorise online filings with Companies House. Companies House sends it by post to the company’s registered office, and it can take up to 10 working days to arrive.
We will also ask you to confirm whether the Companies House information is correct, identify any permitted changes and provide the Companies House personal code for every director. Companies House will not accept the confirmation statement until every director has verified their identity and the required Companies House personal codes have been provided.
Form CS01 can update SIC codes, shareholder information, the statement of capital, share trading status and PSC exemption information. If the company has not previously provided a registered email address, it must provide one with the confirmation statement. Changes to an existing registered email address, registered office, directors, company secretary, PSC details or new share allotments require separate Companies House filings.
Yes. Our service can file current or overdue confirmation statements. The £90 + VAT price includes the £50 Companies House digital filing fee. If several statements are outstanding, one CS01 is required for each statement.
