What is Companies House ID Verification?

Companies House require all company directors, People with Significant Control (PSCs), and those filing on behalf of companies to verify their identity as a part of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act.

Key changes include:

  • All company directors and PSCs must verify their identity with Companies House.
  • This measure aims to improve transparency and prevent corporate abuse.
  • It’s designed to close loopholes used in financial crime and strengthen the UK business register.

Who needs to verify their identity?

The following individuals must verify their identities:

  • Directors of companies, both new and existing
  • LLP members
  • People with Significant Control (PSCs)
  • Relevant officers of relevant legal entities
  • General partners of limited partnerships
  • Individuals acting as Authorised Corporate Service Providers (ACSPs)
  • Anyone filing documents with Companies House

Why Verification Matters

Without completing ID verification, you cannot:

  • Form a new company
  • Be appointed as a Director or PSC
  • Submit confirmation statements or other official filings

Stay compliant and avoid delays by getting verified today.
