Directors & PSCs: New Companies House ID Verification Required from 18 November

Companies House has introduced significant changes to the way UK companies must verify the identity of their Directors and People of Significant Control (PSCs).From 18th November, identity verification will be mandatory before a Confirmation Statement (CS01) can be submitted.

What is changing?

All Directors and PSCs will now be required to complete identity verification either:

• Directly via GOV.UK,

• At participating Post Office branches, or

• Through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP).
