Benefits of email reminders

Our email reminder service tells you when your company’s accounts and confirmation statements are due by sending you an email.

The service is free, and you can:

• choose up to 4 people to receive a reminder (including an agent)
• file your document immediately from a link within the reminder
• receive reminders more conveniently
• avoid late filing penalties by filing your accounts on time
• use less paper, contributing to saving the environment

We’re no longer sending paper reminders by post. Analysis shows email reminders are more successful than paper reminders and users are more likely to file on time.

How to register for email reminders

1. Sign in to the Companies House online filing service.

2. Select ‘Activate e reminders’ from your company overview screen.

3. Select ‘Add an email address’.

4. Enter your email address (a maximum of 4 for each company).

5. Follow the link in the email from Companies House to validate your email address.

We’ll send you an email when you’ve successfully joined the email reminder service.

You must register to use our online filing service before you can register for email reminders.

Register multiple companies for email reminders

You can register multiple companies in one go.

1. Prepare a password protected spreadsheet with a minimum of 15 company numbers and associated authentication codes.

2. Email your spreadsheet to [email protected].

3. In a separate email from the same address, confirm the spreadsheet password and a single email address where we’ll send the reminders.

You can only assign one email address when joining in bulk registration. You can change an email address, or add additional email addresses using our online filing service (a maximum of 4 for each company).
