Separate Director and PSC paths
Follow the route for a Director, an individual PSC, or a person who holds both roles in the same company.
Director and PSC Action Pack
An 11-page PDF for current UK company directors and individual PSCs who have completed identity verification and need to work out where their personal code must be used.
Independent guide. Companies House services remain available directly. This pack does not file or verify anything for you.
What you receive
The free checker explains the public result. The Action Pack is for organising the work that follows, especially when one person appears as both a Director and a PSC.
Follow the route for a Director, an individual PSC, or a person who holds both roles in the same company.
Record the confirmation statement date, filing deadline and the PSC window shown by Companies House without mixing them together.
Keep filing references and follow-up dates in one place without writing down the personal code or identity document details.
Work through a missing code, a code that will not connect, a record mismatch, protected PSC information or a deadline problem.
Contact an ACSP, accountant, co-director or Companies House support with the right context and without sending sensitive information.
Use the relevant GOV.UK or Companies House route and stop self-service when the record needs official or professional review.
Inside the PDF
The pack uses short routes, checklists and fill-in tables. It is designed to sit beside the official service while you complete a filing or hand the task to an accountant.
It does not contain screenshots of an invented interface. Links go to current GOV.UK and Companies House pages.
Choose your route
Each route states where the submission happens, which dates to copy, what evidence to save and when to stop and ask for help.
Prepare the personal code for the company's confirmation statement and save the filing acknowledgement.
Use the dates shown by Companies House and complete the separate PSC submission during that window.
Use the same personal code in two separate services, then record evidence for each role.
Check the code and public record, identify the original filing where possible, and follow the published correction or support route.

Record dates, filing references and where evidence is stored. Keep personal codes, full dates of birth and identity documents out of the worksheet and ordinary email.
Use personal codes only through an official Companies House service or a secure route agreed with the person filing for you.
