PSC/RLE – withdraw or remove a PSC08 statement (file PSC09)

This guide explains how to withdraw or remove an existing PSC08 statement by filing a PSC09 statement.  This will update the company registers and automatically update Companies House.

The action is available via:

  • All actions
  • The relevant PSC08 statement under the Officers, PSCs & RLEs page, or
  • The relevant PSC08 statement under an individual’s stakeholder record

For more general information about PSCs, RLEs or ORPs read our FAQ.

Step 3

Enter the relevant date(s)

More detail
Enter the date on which the PSC08 statement ceased to be true (e.g. if the facts changed or a restrictions notice was withdrawn).

You may also be asked to enter the 'register entry' date - this was relevant under the pre-ECCTA requirements. For now, Kudocs still requires this data but it will not be reported to Companies House.
