This is an official email from Companies House, sent to all registered email addresses. The information in this email is relevant to all companies registered in the UK. If you’re a third-party agent who has received this email on behalf of a company, please forward this message to the company directors of all companies you work with. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Companies House is introducing a series of changes under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act 2023. Here’s a round-up to start the new year to make sure you’re up to date. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Changes to fees from 1 February 2026 ================================================================= From 1 February 2026, some of our fees will be changing. We’ve published a full list of fees that are changing from 1 February 2026.: https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/changes-to-companies-house-fees/ We use income from our fees to incorporate companies and to publish accessible company information worth billions to the UK economy. Our new and enhanced powers under the ECCT Act also enable us to query and remove false and misleading information from our registers. We’re building a more trustworthy environment for consumers and legitimate businesses, and reducing the harm they face from those who do not meet their obligations. Read more about how we use income from our fees.: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/companies-house-fees-are-changing-from-1-february-2026 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Identity verification ================================================================= UK company law now requires all company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) to verify their identity. Identity verification helps protect honest business owners from being impersonated by criminals and supports a fairer, more transparent business environment. It’s a quick, secure process that most people complete in minutes. If you’ve already verified your identity, you do not need to do it again. However, if you’re both a director and a PSC for one or more companies, you need to link your verified identity to each role you hold. Read more about how to use your personal code to link your verified identity as a PSC.: https://companieshouse.blog.gov.uk/2026/01/16/understanding-identity-verification-for-people-with-significant-control-pscs/ We’ve also published a summary of top tips to help you complete identity verification.: https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/getting-help-with-identity-verification/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Registered email address ================================================================= Since 4 March 2024, every company must give Companies House a registered email address. We’re sending regular emails to registered email addresses to help you comply with your responsibilities. It’s important to make sure you’ve chosen the most appropriate registered email address for your company. As the company director, you must be able to access and read the emails you receive from Companies House. You can update your registered email address online.: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/registered-email-address =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= How to stay up to date ================================================================= Read all the latest updates on our Changes to UK company law website: https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/, take a look at our guidance on GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/companies-house-guidance-for-limited-companies-partnerships-and-other-company-types, and sign up for our regular email newsletters.: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKCH/subscriber/new You can also follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CompaniesHouse, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/companies-house/ and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCompaniesHouse for all the latest news. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You’ve received this email because you provided this registered email address to Companies House.
