A confirmation statement is a document that Limited Companies and LLPs must file at Companies House each year. The confirmation statement for a company contains details of its directors and shareholders while the confirmation statement of an LLP lists its members.

For both limited companies and LLPs, the Confirmation Statement also shows the business’s registered office address. The Confirmation Statement is a separate document from a business’s accounts and a company’s Corporation Tax Return.

The purpose of the Confirmation Statement (Companies House form CS01) is to verify that important company data registered at Companies House and displayed on the public register is accurate and up to date. If any information held on record is inaccurate or out of date when the Confirmation Statement is due, the company should update the data on the relevant form before (or at the same time as) delivering the Confirmation Statement.
