# LL IN01: registering an LLP on paper, page by page - **Canonical URL:** https://formspedia.com/uk/ll-in01/ - **Country & Language:** United Kingdom (`en-GB`) - **Form:** LL IN01 - **Revision:** Version 12.0 (August 2026) - **Issuing Agency:** Companies House - **Tax Area:** Registration, representation and benefits - **Who Must File:** Designated members and members applying to incorporate a UK Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) on paper - **Filing Method:** Paper application by post to Companies House - **Filing Fee:** £124 (paper filing) - **Legal Basis / Statute:** Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000, section 2 - **Official Form PDF:** https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a9aa97f01bbff0bf8f97e2b/LL_IN01_v12.0-FINAL.pdf Registering a limited liability partnership on paper means LL IN01, a 31-page form, and a £124 fee. The form is made under section 2 of the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000; the version in use is 12.0 of August 2026. Most of those 31 pages are repeat blocks for extra members and people with significant control. A two-member LLP with no corporate members fills in far less than the page count suggests. What has changed in recent versions is identity: every individual member now has to have verified their identity with Companies House before the form goes in. ### Three situations that need a different form - You are forming a company, not an LLP. That is form IN01. - The LLP is situated in Wales and wants a Welsh name ending (PAC or Partneriaeth Atebolrwydd Cyfyngedig). That is LL IN01c. - An individual PSC has applied, or is applying, for protection from having their details on the public register. The form says to email secure@companieshouse.gov.uk for a separate form. ### Part 1: name, office, email **A1 and A2, the name** The name has to end in "LLP" or "Limited Liability Partnership", and you delete whichever one you are not using. Duplicate names are refused, so check availability with Companies House's name search first. If the name contains a sensitive or restricted word, tick the box in A2 and attach the reply you got from the government department or body whose comments you had to seek. **A3 and A4, the registered office** Tick one jurisdiction: England and Wales, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The address must sit inside it. An England and Wales LLP needs an address in England or Wales; a Scottish LLP needs one in Scotland. The address must also be "appropriate", which the form defines in two parts. Post or a hand delivery there would be expected to reach someone acting for the LLP. And it must be possible to get an acknowledgement of delivery. A home address used here becomes public, and GOV.UK warns about this on the form's download page. **A5, designated members** Answer yes and every member, now and later, is a designated member. Answer no and at least two of the members you name must be designated. The LLP needs two designated members at all times. **A6, registered email address** One address only, and it must be one where emails from the registrar would normally reach someone acting for the LLP. This page carries the note "This page is not shown on the public record". ### Members who are people Sections B1 to B6 repeat for each individual member. B1 asks for any former names used for business in the last 20 years, the country or state of residence and the month and year of birth. Tick the designated member box only if that person consents to act as one. B2 is the service address, which is public. You may write "The LLP's registered office" there. B3 takes the full date of birth; the day is kept off the public record. B4 is the usual residential address. It cannot be a PO Box, a DX number or an LP number, and you may write "Same as service address" only if B2 gives a real address rather than "The LLP's registered office". #### Identity verification, B5 and B6 B6 is a tick confirming the person has verified their identity under section 1110A of the Companies Act 2006, plus their Companies House personal code, an 11-character code issued after verification. B5 asks whether the name on the form matches the verified name. If it does not, there are four reasons to choose from: a legally changed name, a preferred name, a translation or different naming convention, or "prefer not to say". Companies House may get in touch when the names differ. #### Keeping a home address from credit reference agencies A member who has applied for, or been granted, an exemption under section 243 ticks the box in B4. The whole form then goes by post to a separate address: The Registrar of Companies, PO Box 4082, Cardiff, CF14 3WE. If the section 243 application is being made now, the application and LL IN01 travel in the same envelope. ### Members that are companies or firms A corporate member skips section B and uses C1 to C4. A limited company registered in the UK completes C3, which is mainly its registration number. Anything else completes C4: its legal form, the law that governs it and, if it is on a register, which register (including the state) and its number there. ### Part 3, people with significant control Tick D1 if someone will count as a PSC or registrable relevant legal entity once the LLP exists, then give their details in the D, E and F sections. Tick D2 if the LLP has reason to believe there will be none. With D2 ticked, you go straight to Part 4. ### Parts 4 to 6: consents and who authenticates Part 4 confirms that every person named as a member or designated member has consented to act. Part 5 is ticked only when individual PSCs are listed, and confirms each of them knows their details are being supplied. Part 6 is authenticated by either a solicitor engaged in forming the LLP or a member named on the form. It certifies that two or more of the people named are associated to carry on a lawful business with a view to profit. A printed name is enough; no signature. ### Things that hold up a paper application - Printing from Chrome. GOV.UK notes that Chrome users may not see the checkboxes on printed copies and suggests another browser. - A country written in a non-standard way. Companies House accepts only entries from its own list of nationalities and countries. - A residential address field filled with a PO Box, or "Same as service address" when the service address is the registered office. - No registered email address in A6. - A member whose identity has not been verified, or a missing personal code. - A name identical to one already registered, sent without the consent the 2015 names regulations allow for. ### Fee and where to send it The paper fee is £124, according to the GOV.UK page for the form, which was last updated for fees on 1 February 2026. Cheques and postal orders are made payable to "Companies House". Unless a section 243 or 790ZF exemption applies, the form goes to the main office, whatever the jurisdiction: Companies HouseCrown WayCardiffCF14 3UZDX 33050 Cardiff The certificate of incorporation goes to the presenter's address on page 30, or to the registered office if you tick that option. Everything on the form becomes public apart from usual residential addresses, the day of birth and the identity verification details. Optional continuation pages for extra members and PSCs are in a separate ZIP on the same GOV.UK page. ### Sources - Companies House, LL IN01 Application for the incorporation of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), version 12.0, 08/26 ([assets.publishing.service.gov.uk](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a9aa97f01bbff0bf8f97e2b/LL_IN01_v12.0-FINAL.pdf)) - GOV.UK, Register a limited liability partnership (LL IN01), last updated 4 September 2026 ([gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-a-limited-liability-partnership-ll-in01))
