Document delivery
Only the Cardiff office is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to receive documents delivered by hand or post. The London and Edinburgh offices have a letterbox for out of hours deliveries, but the Belfast office doesn’t.
Find out how to get to our offices.
Accounts must be delivered to Companies House by their due date. Delays in transit won’t be accepted as an excuse for late delivery.
Applications for certified copies
We will try to process all certified copy applications as normal. But we can’t be held accountable for any delays in receiving applications due to holiday post times.
Travelling to the London office on New Year’s Eve
Due to the New Year’s celebrations organised by Westminster Council all roads surrounding the office including Victoria Street and Westminster Bridge will be closed from 2pm. Read further information on the New Year’s Eve road closures.
