Register of Members (long form)

The register of members is the definitive record of share ownership in a private limited company. Section 113 of the Companies Act 2006 sets out the prescribed statutory particulars that must be entered in the register.

Why choose the long form register of members?

This is the longer, more detailed version of our register of members templates. It is intended to capture additional information beyond the minimum statutory particulars and may be more suitable where a company has a wider shareholder base and more than one class of share.

A shorter, more basic version is also available and is limited to the prescribed statutory information that must be entered.

Indexing and companies with more than 50 members

The layout of this template reflects the greater level of detail it contains and, if you choose, it may also be used to act as an index. An index is required for companies with more than 50 members.

Data protection and inspection considerations

Because this template includes additional details, care is needed in light of potential data protection issues and the fact that the register may be inspected with those additional details included. Further guidance is available in our guidance note.

ECCTA changes reflected in this template

This template has been updated to reflect changes being introduced under the Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA), including the requirement for a member’s name to include both a forename and surname, with no initials or abbreviations.
