UK Companies House Identity Verification
Ensure your UK company filings never get delayed due to identity checks. Our seamless Companies House ID verification service helps directors and PSCs complete their verification quickly and securely. We handle the process end-to-end so you can focus on running your business.
Companies House has announced that obtaining a Companies House Personal Code via an identity verification process, will become a legal requirement for all company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) . All company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) whether they are UK residents or Non UK residents, will have to verify their identity to prove who they are.
As a registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) with Companies House, Icon Offices is officially authorised to request Companies House Personal Codes by carrying out identity verification checks on Companies’ Directors and Persons of Significant control, even if they are not our existing clients. The new Companies House Personal Codes will be essential for Directors and PSCs to update their details or file documents in the future. The Personal Codes are different to Companies’ web filing codes which are already in circulation.Â
Failure to verify your identity with Companies House and obtain a personal code may result in serious consequences such as the following:
- You will not be able to submit mandatory filings such as confirmation statement filings.
- You risk your company being struck off / dissolved
- You may be prosecuted.
- You risk incurring a financial Penalty
- You risk being blacked / disqualified from acting as a director in the UK.
