Legalisation of a document or certificate

You can get a document legalised with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) - giving the document the same authenticity it has in the UK, in countries who have signed up to the Hague Convention of 1961.

To get a Companies House document ‘legalised’ by the FCO, it must have the original signature or seal of a British public official. To get a document signed in person by a Companies House official, you’ll need to request a certified certificate or certified copy.

DVD products

Companies House offers two different DVD products:

DVD directory

change of name and dissolved companies index on DVD

DVD directory

Our DVD directory contains basic company details on all 3 million live companies registered in the UK, along with companies that have become dissolved in the last month.

The data can’t be exported, but we do provide a one off version of the directory with exportable files at a cost of £1,000. The maximum number of results that can be exported at one time is 30,000.

The data on each DVD is available for six months from the date of purchase after which time it locks and you will be unable to access the data.

The product requires Internet Explorer to be set as the default browser and is not compatible with Apple Mac computers.

Change of name and dissolved companies index on DVD

The product requires Internet Explorer to be set as the default browser and is not compatible with Apple Mac computers.

Data products

Companies House offers a number of different data products, including:

company data product

accounts data product

uniform resource identifiers (URI)

XML gateway search service

Company data product

The company data product is a free monthly snapshot of basic company details for live companies on the public register.

Access the free company data to get bulk downloads of UK company data.

The bulk snapshot is split into a number of downloadable ZIP files which contain data in comma separated values (CSV) format.

The snapshot contents are compiled up to the end of the previous month and made available for download within 5 working days of the previous month end.

Find more information about the data returned in our
Company Data Product Data Fields
(PDF, 150KB, 1 page)

Accounts data product

The accounts data product is a free downloadable ZIP file, which contains the individual data files (instance documents) of company accounts filed electronically at Companies House.

The data is provided in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format.

Access the daily accounts data files or the monthly accounts data files for the last year.

The individual files within the ZIP file will be in one of the following formats:

inline XBRL format (.html file extension)

XBRL format (.xml file extension)

A new daily file is added each morning over a 5-day period (Tuesday to Saturday). Each file contains the accounts data registered on the previous day.

A new monthly file is added within 5 days of the end of the previous month.

Data is only available for electronically filed accounts, which currently stands at about 60% of the 2.2 million accounts filed at Companies House each year.

Uniform resource identifiers (URI)

Our free URI service gives access to basic company details using a simple uniform resource identifier (URI) for each company on our register.

The URI is a unique web address for each company. Simply use the company number within the URI structure:
http://business.data.gov.uk/id/company/{companynumber}

eg. company number 02050399 would be represented as:
http://business.data.gov.uk/id/company/02050399

Use the URI address with your internet browser and it will display the company data as a HTML page.

You can also return other data formats including RDF, JSON, XML, CSV and YAML.

The URI can be embedded as a link on your own website or the data can be used in your own software.

Find more information about the service and the data returned in our
Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Customer Guide
(PDF, 393KB, 9 pages)

XML gateway search service

Our XML gateway offers access to Companies House data and documents as a computer to computer search service.

Data and documents are requested and delivered using XML (eXtensible Markup Language). This will allow users of the service to search company records from within their own software.

Standard XML data schemas must be used as defined in the interface specification which can be found on our dedicated XML gateway output page..

Users must carry out a test to confirm they can request and receive data before an XML output account can be opened.

There is a £4.70 monthly subscription fee, plus additional charges for data or documents requested. Users get %15 off their total monthly invoice value. Basic company information is available for free.

If you’d like to know more about development or testing, you can contact xml@companieshouse.gov.uk.

File company information

It is easier and quicker to file your information online with Companies House using:

Companies House WebFiling

software filing

Both services are available 24/7 for the submission of information. Any submissions which require manual inspection will only be processed during our normal working hours.

Companies House will accept the delivery of documents and forms by post or by hand at our offices, but check our office opening times and out of hours delivery facilities before you do.

See our full list of filing fees to find out which forms have a filing fee.

WebFiling

Using the online filing service offers you advantages over filing on paper, such as:

saving you time and money - an online annual return costs significantly less than paper

less chance of rejections due to in built checks and pre-populated data

automatic email acknowledgement

File your accounts, annual return and company updates online with Companies House. Watch a demonstration video to see how easy it is to file online.

WebFiling users also get access to additional services, including:

email reminders – a free and effective way to be reminded when your company accounts and annual returns are due for filing

protected online filing (called ‘PROOF’) – prevents attempts to change your registered office address or directors without your knowledge

Register for WebFiling

You’ll need to register a password and email address, then request an authentication code for your company - which is sent to your company’s registered office by post, so allow plenty of time for delivery.

Software filing

Our software filing service enables the submission and acknowledgement of electronic company data between presenters and Companies House via our XML Gateway.

The service is open to everyone but will mostly benefit those who file frequently - on a daily or weekly basis. The more documents you file, the more appropriate software filing is likely to be.

Software filers can submit all the same forms that can be filed using the WebFiling service, plus additional types of company accounts and incorporations.

To use the software filing service you’ll need to open an online filing account and must either purchase suitable software or develop your own.

More information about software filing.

If you want to purchase software

Some commercially available software packages provide a wide range of transactions whilst others are more specialised.

These have been categorised depending on whether you need to find:

software for filing accounts

software to update company details

software to incorporate companies

Opening an online filing account

You will need to open an online filing account if you want to use software to file information. Once opened, the presenter information you need to use the service will be sent to you by post. If you open a credit account, any filing fees will be itemised on the monthly statement you receive.

You can choose to pay by variable direct debit. You can also sign up to use our online eBilling service to access your invoices quicker.

Developing your own software

To develop your own software, you will need to have expertise in eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

A technical interface specification giving detailed information for software developers is available from our Customer Care section on 029 2038 0336 or email xml@companieshouse.gov.uk

The transaction types and submission processes are documented on our schema page.

If you are developing inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (iXBRL) for filing accounts online, you can test your submission using our validator.

More information about our iXBRL service.

You can also subscribe to our RSS feed to receive updates about the software filing service.
