File Your Confirmation Statement Without the Hassle

The easiest way to file a confirmation statement is to let an accountant do it for you. We check your Companies House details, confirm or update them, and file your statement on time — every year, for a fixed fee, with no WebFiling logins or missed deadlines.

As a qualified accountancy practice and HMRC-approved agent, we file directly with Companies House on your behalf. It’s part of our wider company secretarial services, so your annual filing sits alongside every other change we handle during the year. Behind on filing? We’ll bring an overdue confirmation statement up to date quickly and stop a strike-off before it progresses.

What Is a Confirmation Statement?

A confirmation statement (form CS01) is an annual filing that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company is correct. It came back in 2016 as a replacement for the old “annual return.” You don’t re-enter everything each year, you simply confirm or update:
• Directors• Shareholders• People with significant control (PSCs)• Registered office• SIC codes
Every company must file at least one confirmation statement every 12 months, running from incorporation or your last statement.
It’s different from your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return, and is about keeping the public record accurate.
How to File a Confirmation Statement

How to File a Confirmation Statement

To file a confirmation statement, log in to Companies House WebFiling, review your registered details, update anything that has changed, confirm the statement, and pay the £50 filing fee. Or hand it to us, we track the deadline and file it for you every year.
We check your directors are identity-verified before we file, so your statement isn’t rejected. If any details have changed, a new director, a share transfer, a new address, we file those changes first, then submit the statement, so your public record is accurate and consistent.

What Is Form CS01?

Form CS01 is the Companies House confirmation statement used by UK companies to confirm that their registered company information is accurate and up to date. It is used to review and confirm details such as the company's registered office, directors, shareholders, people with significant control (PSC) and SIC codes.Fair Accountants can handle your confirmation statement filing and help ensure the required company information is reviewed and submitted correctly.

What Happens If You File a Confirmation Statement Late?

Companies House can issue a financial penalty if you fail to file your confirmation statement, and your company may also be struck off the register. Every company must file at least one confirmation statement every 12 months, even if nothing has changed. <b style="color:#b4e11e ;"

Confirmation Statements and Identity Verification

Since the ECCTA reforms, your confirmation statement is now the trigger point for director identity verification. Existing directors must be verified by their next confirmation statement filed after 18 November 2025. We check every director, and the PSC is verified before we file. See our Companies House identity verification page.

Director, Shareholder and Other Companies House Changes We File

Your confirmation statement is only part of keeping your record accurate. Whenever something changes, it must be reported to Companies House, usually within 14 days. We file all of these alongside your confirmation statement.

Appoint a director or company secretary

To appoint a director, Companies House must be notified, and the new director must be identity-verified first. We handle the appointment, the filing and the verification. We also add or remove a company secretary and record it in your registers.

Issue or transfer shares

Bringing in an investor or restructuring ownership means allotting or transferring shares and updating your statement of capital. We prepare the paperwork, update your register of members, and report it.

Change your registered office or details

Moved premises, or need to update your SIC codes, company name, or PSC details? We file the change with Companies House and keep your records aligned.
