1. Make sure you’re set up online
To file an annual confirmation, you’ll first need to have:
- a RealMe® login
- an online services account with the FSPR
- authority to update the details on the register for the FSP.
2. Check your FSP details are up to date
Before you file your annual confirmation, details held on the register for your FSP must be up to date.
You’ll need to log in to your online services account to review your registration details, and make any necessary changes.
If an entity’s details need updating, this must be done on its home register – for example, the Companies Register if it’s a company. You’ll then need to return to the FSPR and refresh the details. For how to do this, click on the link below.

- Confirmation — Confirm that all details held on the register for the FSP are correct, and answer the threshold question. Please note: There is no opportunity to review or update the FSP’s details when filing the annual confirmation. You need to update details on the register before starting this process.
