Annual Confirmation Statement Checklist

About this document

What it’s for

Every company and LLP must file a confirmation statement (form CS01 for companies, LL CS01 for LLPs) at Companies House at least once every 12 months, confirming that the information held on the register is correct. This checklist takes you through what to check, the statements you now have to make, the fee and the deadlines.

When to use it

  • A few weeks before each confirmation statement date
  • When taking on a new client company for secretarial work
  • After any change of shareholders, directors, PSCs or registered office

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • A. Timing and fee
  • B. Company details on the register
  • C. Officers and identity verification
  • D. Share capital and shareholders
  • E. People with significant control
  • F. Statements to make
  • Sign-off

How to complete it

  • Fill in the company details and dates at the top
  • Work through sections A to F, ticking each item
  • File any event-driven forms (for example AP01, SH01, PSC forms) before the statement
  • Record the filing details in section G and diarise the next date

Key points to check

  • Failing to file is a criminal offence and can lead to the company being struck off
  • You cannot file without the lawful purpose statement
  • Every director must be identity verified
