Verifying your identity for Companies House

Why you need to verify your identity

Identity verification is a new legal requirement. It will help to deter people intending to use companies for illegal purposes.

By law, you will need to verify your identity to confirm you are who you claim to be.

This will:

• reduce the risk of fraud
• improve transparency, trust and accuracy of information on the Companies House register

Who needs to verify

You’ll need to verify your identity if you are:

• a director
• the equivalent of a director – this includes members, general partners and managing officers
• a director of an overseas company registered in the UK
• a person with significant control (PSC)
• an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) - also known as a Companies House authorised agent

In most cases, you’ll only need to verify your identity once. You must not verify again unless we tell you to.

We’ll introduce identity verification at a later date for:

• people who file at Companies House
• limited partnerships
• corporate directors of companies
• corporate members of limited liability partnerships (LLPs)
• officers of corporate PSCs

When you need to verify

This depends on your role, and when you started that role.
