Director verification requirements

The UK now requires directors (and certain others) to verify their identity with Companies House. Getting this right keeps appointments and filings moving and avoids unnecessary delays or penalties.

We help directors (including those based overseas) understand and meet the verification requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs to verify their identity?

The requirement applies to directors and certain other people connected to UK companies. We can confirm whether it applies in your case and what you need to do.

Can overseas directors complete verification?

Yes. The requirement applies regardless of where a director is based. We can guide overseas directors through the process.

Why I&I: your verification is handled by a senior adviser who also keeps an eye on the wider compliance picture, so nothing else slips in the process.
