Background
Is consent to act as a director required?
An individual or company must consent to act as a director. This is usually satisfied by the written notice to the company.
What information must a director provide to the company for appointment?
The company must keep a register of directors and a register of directors’ residential addresses with certain specified information relating to that director. In the case of an individual, this includes their name, date of birth, nationality, occupation, address for service and residential address.
What filing is required for the appointment of a director?
The appointment must be notified to Companies House within 14 days. This is done online using Companies House form AP01 (or form AP02 in the case of a corporate director). This form also contains the specified information relating to that director.
