Share This Post

Companies House offers interested parties the ability to order certified copies of certificates and documents held on the Companies House register.

You can order:

  • a company certificate with certified facts; or
  • a certified copy of a document held on the register.

You can place an order by:

  • using the Find and update company information service available at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/ – search for the company, and order from the ‘More’ tab; or by
  • calling the Companies House contact centre on 0303 1234 500.

There are two dispatch options for this service: standard or express dispatch. The standard service costs £15. Orders for incorporation documents cost £30. Companies House aims to send these orders within 10 working days. There is also an express service available at a higher cost.

You can request to include additional certified facts on a certificate. These are:

  • directors’ names, and details such as date of birth or nationality;
  • secretaries’ names;
  • registered office address;
  • the company’s objects; and a
  • summary statement – previously known as the good standing statement.

You cannot order certificates with information on people with significant control (PSCs), shareholders, shareholdings or statement of capital.
