Director ID verification, simplified.
It’s a new legal requirement that all UK company directors, etc, have to verify their IDs for Companies House.
However, verifying your ID via the UK government’s Companies House portal isn’t always a smooth and easy process. What’s more, if the government system fails to verify you - that’s it! You don’t get a second chance and the government’s Companies House ID verification helpline will direct you to a third party ACSP (Authorised Corporate Services Provider) such as directorverifications.com to carry out your ID verification.
We’re on hand to offer a quick and stress free service when you think the process on the UK government’s Companies House portal looks too complex or it’s failed to verify your ID.

Why do UK company directors and PSCs need to verify their identities?
In 2025 the UK Government introduced a new law stipulating that directors and PSCs (Person with Significant Control) must verify their identities using government-issued ID documents such as passports and driving licences. The law applies whether directors and PSCs live in the UK or abroad.
Non compliance with the new law will trigger a harshly-worded letter from Companies House that threatens prosecution and/or financial penalty. Continued non compliance will then lead to prosecution and fines. Companies House will also not allow non compliers to file any documents at Companies House and prevent them from becoming new directors of other companies.

Why do UK company directors and PSCs need to verify their identities?
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) became UK law in 2023.
Starting from 18 November 2025, the new law stipulates that all UK company directors, LLP members, Limited Partnership partners and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) must verify their identities with Companies House using government-issued ID documents such as passports and driving licences.
