Preparing for Companies House Identity Verification? Edward Young Notaries & Lawyers shows you How to Stay Compliant
UK company directors are facing a big shift: Companies House is rolling out mandatory identity verification for directors, People with Significant Control (PSCs), and others filing on behalf of companies. This isn’t optional. Starting soon, failing to verify your identity can result in rejected filings, penalties, or even legal consequences.
So how can you stay compliant and avoid delays or disruptions to your business?
Start with professional help — and that’s where Notary Public London comes in.
Why Identity Verification Matters
The new regulations are part of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, designed to increase trust and transparency across UK companies. Companies House will now require verified identification before accepting company filings.
What this means for you:
- If you’re a company director, you’ll need to complete identity verification before you can act in your role.
- If you submit filings or are a PSC, the same rule applies.
