Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, directors and people with significant control must have a verified identity on the Companies House register. It's done free of charge through GOV.UK One Login — and most people get stuck on the account setup, not the check itself.
We walk you through it: which of your documents will be accepted, setting up One Login, and completing the check on a screen-share. We then note your verification against your company so every future filing goes through without a hitch.
A passport, UK photocard driving licence or biometric residence permit. One document is usually enough.
We check your document will be accepted before you start, so the process doesn't fail halfway through.
On a screen-share, you complete the GOV.UK check and your personal code is issued to you.
We record your verification against your company so every filing we make for you afterwards goes through cleanly.
Yes, and you should — it's free through GOV.UK One Login and only you can complete it. We charge for the help around it: checking your documents first, setting the account up, and doing all your directors in one sitting.
About fifteen minutes per person once your documents are ready, and your code is issued straight away.
No. We help directors and PSCs through verification as a standalone service, whoever prepares your accounts.
We run the session by video call using a passport. Tell us the country and we'll confirm what's accepted before you book.
Yes. Every UK company needs a registered office and a director service address, but neither has to be your home. We provide both as part of formation, so you can incorporate and stay compliant without a UK address of your own.
