You Receive a Confirmation

After successful verification, you’ll receive an official confirmation email from Companies House or your Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP).

This email includes your verification reference, confirming that your identity has been securely linked to your profile.

Your Data Is Matched and Recorded

Once verified, your personal data is securely matched to your Companies House record.

Here’s what happens step by step:

  1. Your ID details are validated by Companies House systems.
  2. Your name and role (director, PSC, agent, etc.) are updated.
  3. A “Verified” marker is attached to your record.
  4. Access is granted to file or update company information.

What “Verified” Means

When your status is marked as “Verified”, it means your identity has been checked and confirmed by an authorised body.

This status will appear internally in the Companies House system and ensures you can perform all your company duties legally.

Your Profile Is Now Securely Linked

Your verified identity is now associated with your Companies House record.

This helps:

  • Ensure that only real, traceable individuals can act on behalf of a company
  • Protect the public register from fraud
  • Simplify future interactions with Companies House

Once verified, your information becomes part of a secure, traceable network — a key step in modernising UK company transparency.

Why Verification Matters

  • Legitimacy

    Confirms your authority to act for a UK company

  • Security

    Prevents identity misuse and fraudulent filings

  • Compliance

    Ensures adherence to the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023

  • Efficiency

    Simplifies all future submissions to Companies House

If You Do Not Verify

If your identity isn’t verified within the required timeframe:

  • You may lose the right to act as a company director or PSC.
  • Your company filings may be rejected.
  • Companies House may flag or remove your company from the active register.

Verification is now mandatory — not optional — under the new UK law.

Will my “verified” status be visible to the public?

No, the verification itself is not shown publicly — only Companies House and authorised partners can view it.

Can I still change my company details after verification?

Yes, once verified, you can manage filings, update information, and act in your official capacity.

Do I need to verify again?

You only need to re-verify if you change your name, role, or identity document.

What if my verification fails?

You’ll receive guidance to resubmit documents or verify via an ACSP.
