Change of Director’s Details – Expanded
The company has a legal obligation to inform Companies House of the changes related to your company’s directors and secretaries. To change the director’s details, you need to use the form CH01 (if the director is a person, not a company). This document will inform Companies House of the alterations you wish to make to an existing appointment.
The document includes seven sub-sections. The first one of them indicates for which company the document applies. To complete it, you will need the full company name and number. This can be found on Companies House website, by typing your company’s name. In the next section, you will need to enter the current details of the company director for whom you wish to make changes, as they are in the registrar. The details have to match what Companies House Registrar contains in order to correctly identify the person. If you have legally changed your name you should sent proof of this.

For the details that have not changed, the parts of the form should be left blank. Its important that the director who is updating their details is the one that signs and dates this CHO1 form otherwise it will not be processed by Companies House. A wet signature is required rather than a photocopy to avoid delays.
Important Notes
The address you provide must be an actual address and not a PO BOX or a DX or LP number (Legal Post in Scotland). It is also worth noting that the address you provide will appear on the Companies House website and so be available to the public to view. It is not permitted no section 5a that you put ‘Same as service address’ if your service address has been stated in Section 5 as ‘The Company’s Registered Office’.
