What’s changing from 18 November 2025?
- All directors and PSCs must verify their identity with Companies House.
- Directors and PSCs must complete this before your company’s next confirmation statement is due.
- New PSCs will have 14 days to complete their verification.
- If this isn’t done your company cannot submit confirmation statements and may face compliance issues and penalties.
How can you verify your identity?
Here are the two routes – we can help you with either:
Online via GOV.UK One Login
- Verify using your passport or other photo ID (click link below). Once verified you will receive a unique reference code from Companies House. Please send this to us so we can update our records.
Arranged via an Authorised Corporate Services Provider (ACSP)
- Arrange for the verification process to be managed by an ACSP.
How we can help…
If you prefer not to deal with the technical side of this, we can:
- Handle the identity verification process for you as your ACSP.
- Securely store your personal verification code and make sure filings (like confirmation statements) aren’t delayed.
- Offer a quote so you know in advance what our service will cost.
