What is a Confirmation Statement?

Modified on Sun, 19 Jul, 2020 at 10:25 PM

A confirmation statement is a document that company directors must complete at least once every 12 months and deliver to Companies House. It is used to confirm the registered details of a company at a certain date, as well as to update certain information (such as shareholders).

The confirmation statement replaced the annual return (the name changed on 30 June 2016). It is important not to confuse the confirmation statement with annual accounts, which is a separate annual requirement.
