How quickly must I report a new director or a new shareholder?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Director appointments, resignations and changes to their details go to Companies House within 14 days, and so do changes to people with significant control. New shares must be reported within a month of issue. A new director gives their personal code as part of the appointment filing, so they should verify their identity first.
