Second Filings - Forms RP04 and LL RP04 As of 6th April 2011 Companies House will provide a new service which will enable customers to submit another form (known as a ‘Second Filing’), of certain forms delivered under the Companies Act 2006 (where the original had been delivered on or after 1 October 2009) which contained inaccuracies. For example, if an incorrect date of birth had previously been registered on a “notice of an appointment as a director” (Form AP01) then another AP01 could be ‘Second Filed’ with the correct date of birth on it. However the Second Filed form must be accompanied by either a form RP04 or LL RP04. Companies House’ existing practice of accepting “Amending” forms will continue in respect of Companies Act 1985 and Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 documents and those delivered prior to 1 October 2009. Both ‘Second Filings’ and ‘Amending’ documents can only be delivered on paper. A ‘Second Filing’ of a form may only be filed if the original form had been properly delivered and registered and where inaccuracies remain on the form and register. Where the original form was not properly delivered a replacement document may possibly be filed if accompanied by form RP01. NB - If a ‘Second Filing’ is registered it does not enable the original form (or inaccurate information contained within it) to be administratively removed by Companies House. For companies a RP04 will need to be submitted with each second filed form and a LL RP04 will need to be submitted with each second filed form for LLPs. You will only be able to submit a ‘Second Filing’ for the following form types: Companies:
