Form 12 Declaration on application for registration

Form 12 is another statutory form from Companies House associated with the incorporation of a new company. Form 12 confirms that all other registration requirements have been completed. It is a declaration of compliance with all the legal requirements involved in the forming of a new company.

The newly appointed company secretary and director are responsible for signing the form and ensuring that it is completed in its entirety. It does have to be signed in the presence of a commissioner for oaths, a justice of the peace or a solicitor. Delays can be caused if it appears that the person who signed the form is not a director, so it should clearly show if a person has signed on the behalf of a corporate director.
