OK, thank you. The same code twice when filing the Statement, understood. At least no need to re-verify myself as a PSC for the same business. This is the bright side :-). Thank you very much indeed!
Thank you for clarification! So I don't need to identify myself as a PSC in addition to the already done verification, that's a relief. As for when to input (and where): on the CH public page for my company in the People tab I have the dates by which I need to verify – both for Directors and...
This is exactly what I faced: I wrongly thought that identifying myself as a Director would automatically identify me as a PSC (since this is how it is in the particulars of the company and the Confirmation Statement for that matter), besides I assumed that the very process of ID verification...
Lisa, thank you. You're right, the links ABOUT the ID verification do lead to the EXPLANATION of what it is about and when and who, but they do not explain how to connect your verified identity to your account, unfortunately. They do not explain the very mechanism of doing so, this is what I mean.
Thank you for sharing, Frank. Do you have any idea of the mechanism to link it to CH? I got the confirmation that the verification was successful and received the code (saved all this info, of course), but a) there was no indication whatsoever that this code must be linked to the account (hence...
Hello everyone!
In July 2025 I completed the Verify Your Identity process with CH and got my personal code. Today for some reason I checked the details of my company on the CH website (in the company information section) and to my amazement I saw that both me and my other director (also...
You are referring to the HMRC report, aren't you? From what I understand reading (carefully enough, I hope) on the CH's and HMRC's pages on the gov website, these two bodies treat your accounting period differently: CH starts counting your period from the last day of the month of incorporation...
Thank you so very much! I haven't taken into account (pun unintended) the ability to shorten or extend the financial year (in my Universe it is something I wouldn't even think about, but I admit it may make sense in certain circumstances). Now its is much clearer for me. And now I see that even...
Hello everyone,
I'm approaching my company's first anniversary. For the context, the company was incorporated on 7 November 2023, which makes the ARD to be on 30 November, as per the CH's rules. It also should be noted that since its incorporation the company has been fully dormant (it just...
I see, so I DON'T need any confirmation code BEFORE the company is formed (formally registered by CH)! The code comes to play AFTER the registration is over, to file, say, an amendment or other sorts of stuff. My fear was that after I obtain the address, then will start the signup process and...
Thank you, eteb3, much appreciated. So my reasoning was correct: first the address, then signup with the signup confirmation code LETTER (not e-message) sent to that address (so the company/person at that address should be able to either scan or simply text me the confirmation code to complete...
Thank you, fisicx. Yes, I do understand this: this is exactly what you need for a US LLC – the address where they send the official mail. What I refer to, however, is the INITIAL letter (or message) from Companies House with (supposedly) a confirmation code to enable one to sign up. I'm afraid I...
Ozzy, fisicx, thank you both very much for taking time to respond. Much appreciated. This was my guess, actually, after having gone through the Companies House step-by-step guide. Do I understand it correctly that having established the UK address I then (and only then) can sign up for the...
