Companies House Direct (CHD) and WebCHeck to close by February 2021

We are closing our Companies House Direct (CHD) and WebCHeck services and encourage users to use our Companies House Service (CHS) instead.

We are closing Companies House Direct (CHD) and WebCHeck by February 2021.

We encourage users to use our Companies House Service (CHS) instead. We are continuously expanding the functionality on CHS, and it now includes:

  • company snapshot reports

  • alphabetical search

  • ordering facility for certificates, certified documents and missing images

CHS is a fully accessible service and has already replaced the majority of the functionality provided by CHD and WebCHeck.

Following the government response to the Corporate Transparency and Register Reform consultation, we’ve published guidance on dissolved records to outline our approach.
