What the statement confirms
The confirmation statement is used to confirm that Companies House information is correct. Review the registered office, officers, shareholders, share structure, PSC details and SIC codes rather than filing automatically.
Changes may need separate forms before or alongside the statement.
Identity verification
Companies House may require personal codes connected with verified directors. A company with several directors should make sure every required person has completed verification before the filing becomes urgent.
Keep personal codes secure and separate from the company authentication code.
Check commercial changes
A new shareholder, share transfer, change of activity or officer appointment can affect the register. Compare the official record with board documents and the company’s own statutory information.
The statement is a useful annual control point even when no changes appear obvious.
A practical next step
Review the register several weeks before the due date. Correct errors, collect required personal codes and agree who will approve the filing.
