File your confirmation statement with Tide

If you’re the director of a limited company, you’ll need to file your annual confirmation statement.

This confirms to Companies House the nature of your business, and updates them about any changes.

Learn how to:

Confirm your confirmation statement details

File it directly to Companies House through your app

Confirmation statement is currently available for single directors.

Step 1: Verify your identity

All directors of limited companies will need to verify their identity when filing their confirmation statement.

This uses an 11-character code called your Companies House personal code.

If you have a personal code already

You can provide this during the filing steps to verify your personal identity.

If you don't have a personal code

Let us know during the filing steps by tapping I don't have a code yet.

We'll then request one for you from Companies House, who will send it to your email address. You can choose which email address you'd like it sent to during this process.

Once your code has been sent, we'll let you know through your Tide app and you can complete your identity verification.

Step 2: Confirm your details

Before filing your confirmation statement, you’ll need to check that your details are correct.

Go to the Admin tab and tap Filings to see your details, such as your addresses, registered team, trading name and company number

Use the Filings tab to also update your registered email address*

* Keep in mind that, at the moment, you can only update your registered email address within your confirmation statement filing.

There are some details you won’t be able to update in your app for security or regulatory reasons. Change them with Companies House and then file your confirmation statement with Tide. Learn how to update them here.

View your filing status

Within the Filings tab, you'll also be able to view your status as:

Draft – if you've started the filing but not submitted it, yet

Processing – if you've submitted it, but it's not been accepted

Updated deadline date – if you've submitted it successfully

Step 3: File your confirmation statement

You’re now ready to file your confirmation statement directly through your Tide app.

You’ll need to file your confirmation statement once per year, and this will be around the anniversary of when your company was set up.

In the Filings section, you’ll see the deadline for your statement under Upcoming filings, which updates automatically. We'll also send you reminders as the deadline approaches.

Tap on Confirmation statement to double check your details, confirm your information is correct, and submit this directly to Companies House.
