Understanding identity verification for Companies House
Video Overview & Insights
From 18 November 2025, identity verification becomes a legal requirement. This date is not a deadline. It marks the start of a 12-month transition period, giving your company time to make sure all directors and people with significant control (PSCs) have verified their identity by their due dates.
This will reduce the risk of fraud, as well as improve transparency, trust, and accuracy of information on the Companies House register.
