WHAT IS Confirmation Statement?

Keep your company information up to date

A confirmation statement (CS01) is a legal filing that every UK limited company must submit to Companies House at least once every 12 months. It confirms that your company information is accurate and up to date, including details about directors, shareholders, registered office address, SIC codes, and People with Significant Control (PSC).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONFIRMATION STATEMENT

Filing your confirmation statement ensures your business remains compliant

Avoid potential penalties and company strike off. Every company must file at least once every 12 months, even when they are dormant or no information has changed. With Easy Digital Filing, the process is fast, secure, and fully online.

Please note:
If you need to change your registered office, shareholders or statement of capital, file the relevant supplementary form with Companies House first, as these can't be updated inside a CS01. Feel free to get in touch if you need more information.

FAQ

Your Confirmation Statement questions answered

What is a confirmation statement (CS01)?

A confirmation statement is an annual filing that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company (directors, registered address, shareholders and SIC code) is accurate and up to date.

Do I need to file if nothing has changed?

Yes. Even with no changes, you must still file to confirm the existing details are correct. This applies to dormant and non-trading companies too.

When is my confirmation statement due?

It's due every 12 months, with a 14-day window to file after that period ends. Your first statement period starts on the date of incorporation.

How much does it cost to file a confirmation statement?

Filing costs £68+VAT through Easy Digital Filing, which includes the Companies House filing fee.

What happens if I file my confirmation statement late?

There's no direct fine for late filing, but Companies House will flag your company publicly and send reminders. Continued failure to file can lead to prosecution, fines of up to £5,000 per officer, or the company being struck off the register.

Can I update my registered address or shareholders on a CS01?

No. Significant changes like registered office address, shareholders or statement of capital must be filed using the relevant supplementary form with Companies House before you submit your confirmation statement.

Can I file my confirmation statement online?

Yes. Our cloud-based platform pre-fills your details from Companies House, so there's nothing to install and most filings take just a few minutes.

Does filing a confirmation statement change my filing date?

No, filing on time keeps your annual date the same. It only changes if you update your details and trigger a new 12-month period.
