Changes to the confirmation statement for companies

What you need to know about the way you file your confirmation statement has changed.

Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, all companies need to provide a registered email address. Companies House will use this email address to communicate with your company. It will not be available to the public.

What do I need to do?

Registered email address

Existing companies need to give a registered email address when they file their next confirmation statement, with a statement date from 5 March 2024 onwards.

Statement to confirm the company is lawful

All companies need to confirm that the intended future activities of the company will be lawful. You need to confirm this every year on the confirmation statement. You will not be able to file a confirmation statement without this statement.

This applies to all confirmation statements with a statement date from 5 March 2024 onwards.
