How to register
You’ll need a Companies House password and authentication code.
If you do not have these, you can register online.
Verifying your identity
Before filing your confirmation statement, you may need to verify your identity using GOV.UK One Login. You’ll get a unique personal code to prove you’ve verified your identity.
If your company has more than one director, you must have each director’s personal code.
If you do not have a personal code
If you have not verified your identity for Companies House before, you can verify your identity online.
You only need to verify your identity once.
If you already have a personal code
You can find your personal code in your Companies House account.
Download and fill in a confirmation statement form and post it to Companies House - the address is on the form.
You’ll need to download and fill in parts 1 to 4 if you’re updating information about your company.
It costs £62. Include a cheque with your company number written on the back.
If you were due to file an annual return by 30 June 2016, you can download and fill in form AR01 instead of using the online service.
