14.1 Delivery of documents to Companies House
Most paper documents sent to Companies House must state the registered name and number of the company in a prominent position. There are a few exceptions to this rule, which are set out in the Registrar’s Rules and Powers Guide.
Paper documents should be on A4 size, plain white paper with a matt finish. All text and numbers should be black, clear, legible, and of uniform density.
It is important that the original document delivered is legible so that a clear copy of the document can be produced for the public record. The document or form may be rejected (returned to the company) if it’s not delivered in an acceptable format.
More information about the quality and delivery of documents is available in the Registrar’s Rules and Powers Guide.
