The register of members remains a company-held statutory register. Since 18 November 2025, companies do not universally keep local registers of directors, directors’ residential addresses, secretaries or PSCs; they must keep the corresponding information current at Companies House.
Other company records, historical transaction evidence and inspection duties depend on the company, the record and the transaction involved. Consequences for missing or inaccurate records also depend on the particular statutory duty. Accusolve can help establish the applicable record-keeping and Companies House update process.

Statutory Registers FAQs
-
What are statutory registers?
Companies must still keep a register of members. From 18 November 2025, local registers of directors, directors’ residential addresses, secretaries and PSCs are no longer universally required; those details must instead be kept current at Companies House. Other required records depend on the company and transaction.
-
Do all UK companies need statutory registers?
Every company must maintain a register of members. Whether it must keep other company-held records, preserve historical transaction material or meet a particular inspection duty depends on the company and record. Director, secretary and PSC details that apply must be kept current at Companies House rather than in universally required local registers from 18 November 2025.
-
What happens if I don’t maintain statutory registers?
The consequences depend on the particular record and statutory duty. Missing or inaccurate information may lead to enforcement, penalties or practical problems during due diligence and transactions, but there is no single unqualified consequence for every record listed on this page. Specific advice should be taken for the company and record involved.
