Companies Act 2006 · 2006 c. 46View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 35: The registrar of companies

An individual may not deliver a document to the registrar on their own behalf unless—

their identity is verified (see section 1110A), and
the document is accompanied by a statement to that effect.

An individual (A) may not deliver a document to the registrar on behalf of another person (B) who is of a description specified in column 1 of the following table unless—

the individual is of a description specified in the corresponding entry in column 2, and
the document is accompanied by the statement specified in the corresponding entry in column 3.

In relation to a corporate officer that has only corporate officers, the reference in row 2 of the table to an individual who is one of its officers is to—

an individual who is an officer of one of those corporate officers, or
if the officers of those corporate officers are all corporate officers, an individual who is an officer of any of the corporate officers' corporate officers,

and so on until there is at least one individual who is an officer.

The Secretary of State may by regulations—

create exceptions to subsections (1) or (2) (which may be framed by reference to the person by whom or on whose behalf a document is delivered or by reference to descriptions of document or in any other way);
amend this section for the purpose of changing the effect of the table in subsection (2).

Regulations under subsection (4)(a)—

may require any document delivered to the registrar in reliance on an exception to be accompanied by a statement;
may amend this section.

The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring a statement delivered to the registrar under subsection (2) to be accompanied by additional statements or additional information in connection with the subject-matter of the statement.

Regulations under this section are subject to affirmative resolution procedure.

In this section "corporate officer" means an officer that is not an individual.
