How it works
Three steps with working-day timescales.
Match the checklist to a catalogue product
Read the bank, free-zone or counsel list and pick COGS, incorporation, articles, the pack, or a filings check. Use the free tools if the wording is ambiguous. Orders placed on a UK working day are acknowledged the same day. You confirm you are authorised to order for the company.
We order from Companies House
We apply for the official product(s) and receive them at our address. Standard CH dispatch aims for within about 10 working days (official £22 on the usual certificate and certified-copy routes). Express company certificates and same-day certified products follow Companies House before-11am rules (official £65). If a summary statement looks likely to fail, we warn you.
Scan and tracked delivery
We scan on arrival and send by tracked UK post or courier — typically within 1–3 working days of receipt (packs wait for the last item). Apostille, embassy or translation stays quote-only and is confirmed before any legalisation work starts.
What this hub is for
This page is the commercial catalogue for Companies House company documents that UKCOGS can buy now: Certificates of Good Standing, certified Certificates of Incorporation, certified articles, the multi-document pack, and a light filings check. We are a private agent operated by Pasecom Group Ltd. We order official products from Companies House, receive them at our address, scan and forward under tracked delivery. We do not create or amend the register, and we are not Companies House, the FCDO or GOV.UK.
Fit warnings before you pay
- Order the document the checklist names — not the one with the nicest marketing title. Wrong product wastes working days and fees.
- Free public downloads ≠ certified copies. Use GOV.UK Find and update when a free filing image is enough. Pay us only for certified CH products or company certificates you actually need.
- Standing needs current filings for the summary statement. Overdue accounts or confirmation statement often block “good standing” wording.
- No shareholders or PSC on the company certificate since 2016. Say so early if ownership detail is on the list.
- We do not give legal, visa, immigration or bank-account-opening advice. Confirm the written list with the recipient.
Certificate of Good Standing
Everyday name for the Companies House company certificate with a summary statement where eligible. Buy-now: £79 standard (official CH £22) or £129 express (official CH £65), ex VAT. Full commercial page: UK Certificate of Good Standing.
Certificate of Incorporation
Proof the company was formed. Distinct from a free digital filing image and from a COGS. Buy-now certified copy: £49 ex VAT (official CH £22; same-day official £65 on request with confirmation). Detail: Certificate of Incorporation.
Certified articles and other copies
Certified copy of the articles of association is on the catalogue at £49 ex VAT (official CH certified-copy fee £22 standard / £65 same day). Other named filings can be discussed on the order form — we stick to live GOV.UK certified-copy fees and will not invent a sell price that is not already on the catalogue.
Company documents pack
Standing + certified incorporation + certified articles on one invoice. Pack pricing £249–£299 ex VAT (typical checkout £279). Official CH standard three-document total £66 (£22 + £22 + £22), shown separately on the pack page. Detail: Company documents pack.
Filings check
Catalogue price £15 ex VAT on the order form. Useful when you suspect overdue accounts or confirmation statement before paying for a COGS summary statement. It is a look-up and warning, not an audit and not a guarantee Companies House will issue the summary.
What stays quote-only
Apostille, e-Apostille, embassy legalisation, translations and same-day / next-day FCDO routes. Official FCDO fees to cite: paper £45 (plus courier or postage) and e-Apostille £35 — never the stale £30 figure. Use Get a quote; we confirm whether we can fulfil before taking legalisation money.

FAQ
Straight answers before you order. Fees cited from GOV.UK as of 16 September 2026.
Which Companies House document should I order?
Match the recipient’s written list. “Certificate of good standing” or “company status” usually means the company certificate with summary statement where eligible. “Certificate of incorporation” means formation proof. “Articles” means a certified copy of the articles on the register. If the list wants all three, use the company documents pack. The free “Which document?” tool can help you map the wording — it is not legal advice.
What are your buy-now prices?
From the current UKCOGS catalogue (ex VAT): Certificate of Good Standing Standard £79 / Express £129; certified Certificate of Incorporation £49; certified articles £49; company documents pack £249–£299 (typical checkout £279); filings check £15. Official Companies House fees are included in those prices and shown separately. Checked against GOV.UK the week of 16 September 2026.
What are the official Companies House fees?
Live GOV.UK figures this week: company certificate £22 standard / £65 express (same working-day dispatch before 11am where offered). Certificate of Incorporation £22 by post / £65 same day. Certified copy of a document (for example articles) £22 / £65 same day. Confirm on the Companies House fees list and the order-certified-copies guidance before a deadline.
How long do orders take in working days?
On standard dispatch, Companies House aims to send within about 10 working days. After we receive the paper we scan and send by tracked UK post or courier — typically within 1–3 working days. Express or same-day CH products follow the registrar’s before-11am rules. Packs wait for the last item in the set. Overseas courier adds transit time after we despatch.
Is a free Companies House download enough?
Often for your own records, yes. Filing-history images on Find and update are frequently free. Banks, foreign registries and FCDO apostille routes usually want a certified Companies House product, not a printout of the free PDF. We sell certified routes and company certificates — we do not rebadge free downloads.
Does any of these documents show shareholders or PSC?
The company certificate (COGS route) cannot include shareholders, Persons with Significant Control or statement of capital — those options closed in 2016. Articles may describe share classes in the constitution, but that is not a live ownership register. Tell us if the checklist asks for PSC or shareholders so we can quote the right filing extract.
What if accounts or the confirmation statement are overdue?
Overdue filings can block the summary statement on a Certificate of Good Standing route. Incorporation and articles may still certify. Check the live register before you pay for standing. A £15 filings check is on the order form if you want us to look first.
Can these documents be apostilled?
Often yes when the destination requires legalisation, but apostille, e-Apostille, embassy legalisation, translations and same-day FCDO routes remain quote-only. Official FCDO fees to cite (confirm on GOV.UK): paper £45 plus courier or postage; e-Apostille £35. Never use stale £30 figures. We confirm fulfilment before taking legalisation money.
Are you Companies House?
No. UKCOGS is operated by Pasecom Group Ltd (company number 17139327), a private document agent. We order official documents from Companies House and arrange delivery. We do not create, amend or certify the register.
