From 18 November 2025, Companies House will make identity verification a compulsory part of incorporation and new appointments for new directors and PSCs.
Every PSC has a 14-day period during which they must submit a statement confirming they have verified their identity, along with their Companies House personal code.
There is a 12-month transition period for all existing directors, who must have verified their identity by the time their company's next confirmation statement is filed after this date.
