If you’ve recently started a company or been appointed as a director or person with significant control (PSC), you’ll probably have noticed a new step — you now need to verify your identity for Companies House.
It might sound like a small thing, but it’s become an important part of keeping the UK business register safe and transparent.
At TAXREADS LTD, we know that dealing with official requirements can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve made the process of Companies House identity verification straightforward, fast, and secure.
We’re an ACSP (Authorised Corporate Service Provider) and also an HMRC-approved tax agent, which means you’re in safe hands from start to finish.
Why Verify your identity for companies house
Companies House now checks everyone involved with a company to make sure they are who they say they are.
It’s mainly aimed at:
- Company directors (existing or new)
- People with significant control (PSC)
- Anyone submitting company filings directly
The main idea is to stop fraudulent companies being created and to make the register more reliable. So, even though it’s an extra step, it’s actually a good thing — it helps protect you and your business too.
How the Process Works
There are two ways to do it:
- Directly through Companies House – You can upload your ID and go through their online checks.
- Through TAXREADS LTD (ACSP) – We can handle the verification for you. We’ll review your documents, make sure everything meets the official standards, and complete the process on your behalf.
Most clients prefer the second option because it saves time and avoids back-and-forth with Companies House if something isn’t quite right. We take care of all the small details for you.
Documents You’ll Need
To verify your identity with Companies House, you’ll need Your passport and two documents for address confirmation from group 2.
Groups 1
- Passport
Group 2
- Rental agreement, mortgage statement or ownership papers of residential address
- Utility bill
- Bank statement
- Utility bill, or council tax notice
Group 1 is must, while you can provide any two from group 2 , one of which must show your existing residential address. if you have changed your address in past 12 months we will need same document from old address too.
