Correcting an Officer's Date of Birth

If an incorrect date of birth has been provided for a director or PSC, you will need to complete a specific filing depending on when the officer was appointed.

If a director or PSC was added as part of company registration 

You’ll need to complete and submit 2 paper forms.

1. The ‘Replace a document not meeting requirements (RP01)’ form.
2. The section of the ‘Application to register a company (IN01)’ form for the director or PSC whose date of birth needs to be corrected. 

   • You do not need to fill in the entire form. You only need to complete the sections relating to the details being corrected.

You must also include proof of their correct date of birth, for example a photocopy of a driving licence or passport. We also recommend including a cover letter that clearly explains your situation and outlines the correction you need to make.

Send all your documents together by post to:
