Alternative Documents Accepted


All non-photo documents must show your full legal name and address.

How to Complete Verification Without Photo ID

What Happens After You Submit

Once your documents are uploaded, our verification system checks their validity against trusted databases.

If manual review is required, a trained compliance officer will confirm your identity using cross-referenced data.

Who Usually Uses This Method

Can I still register a company without photo ID?

Yes, but your verification must be completed through an authorised agent using alternative documents.

Will my application take longer?

Manual verification usually takes 1–3 working days, depending on the documents provided.

What if I live abroad?

You can verify your identity through a UK-regulated notary or ACSP that offers international services.

Can I use my student or work ID card?

Not as a primary document — but it can support your proof of identity when combined with address verification.

Do I need to visit in person?

Not necessarily. Most agents allow online verification via encrypted video or document upload.
