Set up online filing passwords to submit accounts

To submit accounts to Companies House, you'll first need to enter your Presenter ID and Presenter authorisation code into IRIS Elements.

If you don't have these details already, you'll need to apply for a Companies House online filing presenter account. This is an account used specifically for filing online, not your regular Companies House account. Find out how to apply for a presenter account.

Once you've been accepted, you'll receive a Presenter ID.

If you've forgotten your Companies House authorisation code, contact Companies House.
