Finding Your Company AUTH Code
What is a company auth code?
The Webfiling Authentication Code is made up of 6 alphanumeric characters and enables you to make online updates to your company, through the Companies House website. With it you can file documents to; appoint a new director, resign a current one, change the registered office, add brand new shares, change your accounting reference date – and much more (all via online filing). Think of it like your company’s online signature.
How do I find the code?
Your code will have been mailed to the registered office (not your home address, unless your registered office is your home address) a few weeks after incorporation. This code will not be displayed anywhere so if you’ve misplaced it you will need to request a new code from Companies House.
How to request your company AUTH code?
- Click the ‘Request an authentication code’ link.
- Select where your company was formed and enter the company number – then click ‘Continue’.
- Select ‘Request code’.
- You’ll receive your code by post.
Your new WebFiling Authentication Code will be mailed to your company’s current registered office.
Request the code to be sent to a home address:
If for whatever reason you do not have access to your Registered Office Address you can request the code be sent to an officers home address. This is a simple process, you can do it all by following the link below and the steps set out on the Companies House website.
