Identity verification is now an important part of UK company compliance, with directors and People with Significant Control (PSCs) required to verify their identity with Companies House. For businesses with multiple directors, complex group structures or individuals based overseas, managing the process and relevant deadlines can create an additional administrative burden.

DTM Legal is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), meaning our Corporate & Commercial Team can complete identity verification checks on behalf of individuals and submit the required confirmation to Companies House. We support businesses, directors and PSCs through the process, providing a straightforward alternative to completing verification directly through the GOV.UK One Login.

We can also help businesses understand who needs to complete identity verification, when action is required and how verified identities should be connected to individual company roles. Our aim is to help you manage the process efficiently and reduce the risk of Companies House compliance requirements being overlooked.

We provide practical support throughout the identity verification process, including:

For businesses managing several directors, PSCs or corporate entities, Companies House identity verification can involve more than simply completing an individual ID check.
