It records the company’s incorporation and the registered particulars stated on that certificate. It is not automatically evidence of every current company fact.

Companies House issues the certificate. Coddan may identify, obtain and coordinate the appropriate route but does not issue the official product.

Not by itself. It records the incorporation event. Current status or filing evidence may require a different Companies House product.

It records the registered change from the former company name to the new name identified on that certificate.

No. It records a later event. The incorporation certificate and name-change certificate may both be relevant where the recipient needs the complete connection.

More than one certificate may be relevant. The required set depends on which transitions the recipient needs to see.

Not automatically. The shortest sufficient set should follow the recipient’s confirmed purpose and instructions.

Possibly. It should be checked for identity, completeness, legibility, form and recipient acceptance before another document is ordered.

Coddan can identify and coordinate the appropriate Companies House route within scope. The precise product, format and availability must be checked against the current record and service.

It may be sufficient if the recipient accepts it. An ordinary download is not automatically a certified copy or company certificate.

An event certificate records incorporation or a registered name change. A certified copy reproduces a particular register document. A company certificate states available certified company facts.

No. A Certificate of Incumbency is privately or professionally prepared evidence and is not an official Companies House certificate.

No. Current Companies House guidance uses “summary statement” terminology for the relevant available status wording, subject to current conditions.

The available source and format must be checked for the particular certificate. The recipient must also accept the proposed electronic form.

No. The appropriate form depends on the available product, recipient, purpose and any later treatment.

No. An apostille is required only where the document, signature, recipient and destination procedure establish that route.

No. Eligibility and any prior act depend on the specific document form and signature. The appointed notary and FCDO control their separate stages.

Only where the recipient or another confirmed procedure requires translation. The translator prepares and certifies that separate work.

No. It belongs only to a confirmed destination procedure, and the relevant mission controls its requirements and decision.

No. Correction, replacement filing, governance and authority issues must be addressed through the appropriate preliminary route.

The incorporation event remains historic, but current status and document availability require separate analysis. Certification does not restore a dissolved company.

The receiving authority or organisation determines acceptance for its procedure.

The company identity and name history, requested event, recipient, purpose, instructions, existing documents, required form, later stages, deadline and any readiness issue.

The product, certificate count, historic chain, official charges, Coddan’s work, form, delivery, later treatment, preliminary work and changed recipient requirements may all affect scope.
