Consent to act as director

No one becomes a director without saying so in writing. Generate the appointee's signed consent letter for the company's records, free.

When you need this document

The consent letter is the document nobody remembers until a bank or an auditor asks for it. It confirms the appointee is over 18, is not bankrupt and is not disqualified — and it belongs in the company's records from the day the appointment takes effect.

On an appointment after incorporation, the new director’s consent is confirmed to the Companies Registry on Form ND2A — but the company should hold a signed consent letter in its records, and banks and professional firms routinely ask for one. (For a brand-new company, the first directors sign their consent on the incorporation form NNC1 itself.) This letter pairs with the director appointment resolution.

After you sign

  1. File the appointment — the company files the board resolution details on Form ND2A within 15 days (not needed for first directors named on the NNC1).
  2. Keep the letter with the company’s statutory records — banks and auditors will ask for it.
  3. Update the register of directors and, where relevant, bank mandates.
