Identity Verification

Seamless Identity Checks for UK Companies

Verify Identities. Protect Your Business.

You may already deal with annual filings and other company responsibilities. Now, identity verification adds another requirement that directors and people with significant control need to understand.

The process sounds simple until your details don’t match, your identification causes a problem, or you’re unsure what to do with your personal code. If you hold roles across several companies, keeping track of the requirements can become even harder.

Our identity verification service helps you understand the process and complete the relevant steps properly. That means less confusion when your verification requirement becomes due.

Get your identity verification sorted before it becomes another Companies House problem.

Not Sure If You Need To Verify?

The new requirement affects directors and people with significant control.

New directors must verify their identity when they incorporate a company or become appointed to an existing company. Existing directors need to provide their Companies House personal code with the relevant confirmation statement filing.

People with significant control also have identity verification requirements. Each PSC has a specific 14-day period to provide their personal code and verification statement.

You may need to complete identity verification if you’re:

A director of a UK company
A person with significant control
Becoming a new company director
Managing roles across several companies

Know what applies to your company role before the deadline arrives.

Don’t Let Verification Hold You Back!

Complete your identity checks quickly and securely.

The Steps Behind Digital Verification

The process may take minutes, but getting the details right still matters.

You can verify your identity through GOV.UK One Login using accepted photo identification. You may also use an authorised corporate service provider where appropriate.

Once you complete the process successfully, Companies House gives you a personal code. You then use this code to connect your verified identity with each relevant company role.

The process can involve:

Completing digital identity verification
Providing accepted photo identification
Checking your personal details
Receiving your Companies House personal code
Connecting your identity to your company role

Complete the process properly and avoid unnecessary delays.
