Register of Members (and other Internal Company Registers)

The Companies Act 2006 (as amended by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023) has introduced significant changes for company registers. From 18th November 2025, all statutory registers are abolished, other than the register of members. Companies can no longer elect to keep their register of members on the central register at Companies House. They must maintain it internally as a local register. For all other previous statutory registers, the register at Companies House will become the sole, verified source of this information. The information which would otherwise be recorded in these registers still needs to be provided to Companies House. Companies are subject to enhanced reporting obligations requiring the information that would have been kept in these registers to be notified to Companies House directly. 

The templates below are a collection of guidance notes and letters to explain the changes that are now in place in relation to company registers as well as the registers that may be used to collate the necessary information in relation to a company’s members. Note that for all other registers listed below, they are only for use internally.
