How to use your authorised agent account

You’ll be able to access the authorised agent account when you sign in to your Companies House account.

When you’ve registered as an ACSP, use your own GOV.UK One Login to [sign in to the authorised agent account](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/sign-in-to-your-authorised-agent-account).

Do not share your GOV.UK One Login details with colleagues. Instead, add them as users to your authorised agent account so they can access ACSP services using their own GOV.UK One Login.
