ID Verification
Companies House identity verification introduces additional responsibilities for individuals involved in forming, managing, owning or controlling UK companies. Directors and people with significant control may be required to verify their identity and provide their Companies House personal code within the relevant filing process.
Why verification support matters
The process can become confusing where an individual controls several companies, has different personal details recorded on the register or is unsure how verification affects future company filings. Incorrect or incomplete information may delay submissions and create compliance difficulties.
Identity verification support may include:
- Explaining who is required to complete verification
- Reviewing personal information held at Companies House
- Guidance on the appropriate verification route
- Assistance with preparing the necessary identification documents
- Coordinating verification through Companies House or an authorised agent
- Guidance on obtaining and safeguarding the personal code
- Linking personal codes with the relevant company appointments
- Supporting directors and people with significant control
- Checking that verification requirements are addressed before filings are submitted
Stay prepared
Early preparation can reduce the risk of filing delays and help directors and company owners meet the developing Companies House requirements in an organised manner.
