The change if submitted correctly should be updated within the hour, though it can sometimes take longer. We suggest waiting 24 hours before contacting Companies House to see if there is a problem. You should receive an email confirming that a change has been made, both on submission of the change and when the change is updated on the public record. If you do not receive the first of these emails, try submitting the change again. The email will be sent to the email address you used to login with, on the Companies House website.
