The new WebFiling account will be introduced on Monday 12 September. It’s the first step in creating a single sign-in across all Companies House services.

Your new WebFiling account will be introduced on Monday 12 September. It will have improved security features and will give you more freedom to self-manage your account.

Once you’ve linked your company to your account, you will not need to enter your authentication code every time you file online.

If you own or file on behalf of more than one company, you’ll be able to manage all your companies from one account.

Once the new account is introduced, you’ll also be able to digitally authorise yourself and other directors to file for your new company as part of the online incorporation process.

This is the first step in creating a single sign-in across all Companies House services, and it’s an important milestone in our 2020 to 2025 strategy.

What you need to do?

When you log in to WebFiling after the new account has been introduced, you’ll need to give us some additional details to enable multi-factor authentication on your existing account. You will not need to sign up for a new account, and you’ll be able to use your existing email address and password.

Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to access all the benefits of your WebFiling account.

If you do not have a WebFiling account, you do not need to do anything at this time. If you sign up for a WebFiling account in the future, you’ll have access to these benefits.
