As an authorised notice placer, insolvency practitioners can place insolvency notices in The Gazette via email, post, fax, web form or XML.
When practitioners place a notice via web form or XML, they will be able to submit directly to the system and control the upload, timing, payment and withdrawal of notices before they are published.
What is a web form?
A web form has designated fields which guides a notice placer through the information required for a particular notice type. It is designed for users who are placing one notice at a time.
How do I place an insolvency notice via web form?
Once you are ready to place a notice online, register as an authorised notice placer or sign in, and go to ‘Place a notice’ from the ‘My Gazette’ dropdown. You will then be able to complete the appropriate web form.
Which notices can I place via web form?
The following insolvency web forms are available for notice submission:
(London, Edinburgh and Belfast)
Winding up by the court:**
- Petitions to wind up (companies) (notice 2450)
- Petitions to wind up (partnerships) (notice 2451)
Creditors’ voluntary winding up:
- Resolutions for winding up (notice 2441)
- Meetings of creditors (notice 2442)
- Appointment of liquidators (notice 2443)
- Notices to creditors (notice 2446)
(London and Belfast only)
Personal insolvency:
- Notice of intended and final dividends (notice 2509 and 2510)
(London only)
Creditors’ voluntary winding up:
- Deemed consent (notice 2447)
- Find out the cost of placing a notice, and read the guide on how to submit and publish notices.
What is XML submission?
This is a code-based submission route, where you will need a valid xml file to upload to The Gazette website. This requires xml developer skills to construct an xml file, usually straight out of an in-house case management system, with items in the notices tagged in a specific manner. This route is designed for users who submit a high volume of notices – anything from 10 to 500+ notices – though it is worth bearing in mind that the bigger the xml bundle, the longer it will take to process and upload during submission.
This submission route will require adherence to The Gazette schema, details of which are contained within The Gazette developer documentation.
Other ways of placing a notice
You can place notices by email, post, fax, web form or XML, and The Gazette customer services team will still be available to assist you with placing notices andany queries.

Gazetted company law document information, alongside other key details, is now available in beta via The Gazette’s company profiles.
The Gazette, the UK’s official public record, has launched the beta release of company law events on their free company profiles service and is seeking user feedback.
The Gazette publishes a company profile for every UK company registered with Companies House. Each company has its own profile page showing Gazette notices which, since the release of the company law events, contain all required Gazetted company documents under the Companies Act 2006 in a handy timeline of company event activity. This includes popular data such as:
- incorporation date,
- notification of director changes,
- company strike-off information,
- details of event-based filings to Companies House.
The company profiles also include additional information, sourced from Companies House, such as:
- director names,
- registered office details,
- account filing details,
- nature of business, shown with Gazette notices on a handy timeline of company event activity.
The Gazette company law events use information extracted from the official filings that are published in The Gazette by Companies House under sections 1064 and 1077 of the Companies Act 2006.
Share your feedback
As part of the launch, The Gazette is seeking feedback on the company profiles and is inviting Insolvency Practitioners to complete a survey sharing their experience of navigating and using them. User feedback is important to develop the service further.
