Starting 18 November, Companies House is introducing mandatory ID verification for all individuals involved in running or owning a company in the UK.
If you’re a company director, company secretary, person with significant control (beneficial owner), or anyone filing on behalf of a business, you must verify your identity to remain compliant with UK company law.
This new requirement is designed to increase corporate transparency and protect the integrity of the UK business register.
Who Needs to Complete Companies House ID Verification
The new rules apply to:
- All company directors and secretaries
- Persons with significant control (PSCs) or beneficial owners
- Anyone filing documents or acting on behalf of a company
If you fall into one of these categories, you’ll need to verify your identity before 18 November to avoid penalties or restrictions on your company’s activities.

There are two ways to complete the verification process:
- Directly with Companies House – You can verify your identity yourself through the official Companies House online portal.
