IDV & KYC Checks

All directors, company secretaries, LLP members, and persons with significant control are now required to obtain a verified personal identification code in order to register with Companies House.

Simple and secure process

Whether you are a sole director or verifying multiple individuals across a group structure, our ID verification service is designed to be straightforward and secure. We use advanced identity document validation technology to make the process as efficient as possible.

The verification process

Step 1 – Identity check
You will be asked to complete the verification on a mobile phone or tablet. This includes scanning your passport or driving licence, taking a live photo, and (if required) uploading proof of address.
Step 2 – Review
We review the results of the verification. If there are any queries or issues, we will contact you directly.
Step 3 – Submission
We submit your details to Companies House using our authorised agent account, including confirmation of the documents used and your email address.

Once submitted, your personal verification code will be sent directly to your email address. For security reasons, this code is not shared with us, and each email address can only be used once.

Important information

We do not submit your identity documents to Companies House—only a record of the documents used
We are required to retain verification records for seven years
