*	new financial penalties
*	get ready for identity verification
*	register as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP)
*	changes to accounts
*	how to keep up to date

We introduced the first set of changes under the Economic Crime and 
Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act on 4 March 2024. 
<https://www.gov.uk/government/news/companies-house-begins-phased-roll-out-of-new-powers-to-tackle-fraud> 
  

We’re introducing more changes over the coming months 
<https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/changes-at-a-glance>  that 
could affect you.  

Over time, these changes will improve the accuracy and transparency of the 
data on our registers and strengthen our approach to tackling economic 
crime. 

Find out what you need to do and when.

Reminder about changes introduced in March 2024 


On 4 March 2024, Companies House introduced new rules for registered office 
addresses. All companies must, at all times, have an ‘appropriate address’ 
as their registered office.       

There’s also a new requirement for all companies to give a registered email 
address to Companies House.

You must keep your registered office address and your registered email 
address up to date to make sure you receive important information from 
Companies House. 

We may take action against the company and its officers if you do not meet 
these requirements.

For more information about the new rules for registered office addresses and 
the new registered email address, read our guidance on GOV.UK. 
<https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/incorporation-and-names>    

  _____


New financial penalties   


We introduced new financial penalties in October 2024. 
<https://www.gov.uk/government/news/companies-house-implements-new-powers-with-new-non-compliance-penalties> 
You may receive a financial penalty if you do not comply with your legal 
obligations – for example, not filing your confirmation statement on time. 

We’ll introduce more financial penalties for non-compliance as and when new 
measures come into force.  

Read more about how we’ll use our enforcement powers to issue financial 
penalties. 
<https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/companies-house-approach-to-financial-penalties> 
 

Sign up for email reminders to remind you when your confirmation statement 
is due. 
<https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-for-email-reminders-from-companies-house> 
  

  _____


Get ready for identity verification


Anyone setting up, running, owning or controlling a company in the UK will 
soon need to verify their identity to prove they are who they claim to be.  

You’ll be able to verify using GOV.UK One Login 
<https://www.gov.uk/guidance/verifying-your-identity-for-companies-house> , 
or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP).

To get ready for identity verification, it’s important to make sure we hold 
the correct details for each officer and person with significant control 
(PSC) of your company.  

You will not be able to complete identity verification if the personal 
information on your identity documents, such as your date of birth, does not 
match the information held on our register. 

Check the details we hold for you and your company on the Find and update 
company information service. 
<https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/>   

You can tell us about some changes online 
<https://www.gov.uk/file-changes-to-a-company-with-companies-house> . For 
other changes, such as incorrect or missing information about directors or 
PSCs on your incorporation documents, you'll need to file a paper form 
<https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/companies-house-forms-for-limited-companies> 
.

In the future, identity verification will become compulsory. From this 
point, if you or any other directors do not comply with identity 
verification requirements on time, you’ll be committing an offence and will 
not be able to make any filings for your company. There’ll be a range of 
consequences, including a financial penalty and being unable to start a new 
company. 

  _____


Register as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider


Third-party providers such as agents or accountants, who wish to carry out 
identity verification checks on behalf of clients for Companies House, can 
now register their business as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider 
(ACSP).  

To become an ACSP, also known as a Companies House authorised agent, 
third-party providers must be supervised within the UK by a relevant 
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) supervisory body.  

To register as an ACSP, third-party providers will need to use our 'Apply to 
register as a Companies House authorised agent' service. 
<https://www.gov.uk/guidance/applying-to-register-as-a-companies-house-authorised-agent>

Read more about what it means to be an ACSP. 
<https://www.gov.uk/guidance/being-an-authorised-corporate-service-provider>

Changes to accounts


The online accounts and Company Tax Return service is closing on 31 March 
2026. 
<https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-online-accounts-and-company-tax-return-service-is-closing>

If you use this service to file your accounts with Companies House and 
Company Tax Return with HMRC, you’ll need to find alternative filing methods 
once it closes.

Over the next 2 to 3 years, we’ll be transitioning towards filing accounts 
by software only. 
<https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/changes-to-accounts/>  

We’re preparing a detailed timetable and we aim to give companies 21 months’ 
notice ahead of the change. Most companies can make the change now as 
software is already available. We’ve published an updated version of our 
Find software for filing company accounts tool 
<https://www.gov.uk/software-company-accounts>  to help companies to choose 
a suitable software product.
