Effective 18 November 2025, identity verification has become a legal requirement under Companies House regulations for individuals who set up, run, own, or control a UK company. This includes company directors and persons with significant control (PSC), all of whom must verify their identity in accordance with Companies House guidelines.
This requirement has been introduced to improve corporate transparency and prevent fraud. Each individual must complete the verification process either directly with Companies House or through an authorised agent.
Please note that we do not provide identity verification services. This is a personal obligation of the company’s directors and officers, and must be completed by them independently.
Identity verification must be completed before filing your confirmation statement. Once successfully verified, you will receive a unique Companies House personal code, which will be required to complete your filings.
