Common Mistakes We See
Assuming it does not apply to non-residents
It applies by role, not residence — overseas directors and PSCs must verify too.
Leaving it until a filing is blocked
Waiting until a deadline or a rejected filing adds stress and risk.
Using a mismatched name or address
Details that do not match your ID or the register cause the check to fail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to verify if I live outside the UK?
Yes. The requirement is based on your role — director, person with significant control, or filer — not on where you live. We guide non-U.K. residents through the route that applies.
What documents do I need?
Typically a valid photo ID such as a passport or national identity card, plus your personal details. We tell you exactly what is acceptable before you start.
Is this required for new companies?
Identity verification is being phased in for new incorporations and existing companies. If you are forming now, we can complete it alongside your formation.
What happens if I do not verify?
Failing to verify when required can prevent filings and put the company and individuals at risk of penalties. Meeting it keeps you in good standing.
Do you decide whether I pass?
No. We prepare and guide you through the process, but the verification is confirmed by Companies House or an authorised identity provider.
