Need to verify your identity for Companies House? Nekii Consultancy is a registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), offering professional identity verification for company directors, people with significant control and others who need to meet the requirements.
Companies House identity verification is a legal requirement introduced as part of reforms to improve the accuracy and reliability of the UK companies register. It helps confirm that individuals involved in setting up, running, owning or controlling companies are who they claim to be.
Individuals who need to verify can do so directly through GOV.UK One Login or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), such as Nekii Consultancy.
As a registered ACSP, we can carry out the necessary identity checks and confirm the result to Companies House. We explain what documents are required, guide you through the process and help you understand the next steps.
Once your identity has been successfully verified, Companies House issues a personal code. You may need to use this code to connect your verified identity to your roles on the companies register.
Important: Verification is generally a one-off process, but you may need to provide your personal code for more than one company role. The deadlines that apply depend on your circumstances.
Identity verification requirements apply to several types of individuals involved with UK companies. Your exact deadline depends on your role and when it began.
New and existing directors must meet the Companies House identity verification requirements. Existing directors should check the due dates associated with their company roles.
Individuals who own or control a company, known as PSCs, are also subject to verification requirements. Their deadlines can differ from those of company directors.
Depending on the applicable Companies House rules and implementation timetable, verification may also be required for other individuals involved in company filings and corporate structures.
We keep the process straightforward, explain what is required and communicate directly with you throughout.
