The first part of “Consent to act as director, DIR-2 content note and covering consent”, as it downloads. Blanks are highlighted.

Staff note: DIR-2 is a prescribed form. Use the current MCA format and do not retype it. The covering consent below is sent with it so that the foreign director knows what he or she is signing and gives the nationality and interest confirmations the company needs for its own file. Signed by the proposed director.
