Service overview
Certain individuals associated with UK companies and LLPs, including company directors, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) and LLP members, may be required to complete identity verification under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act and applicable Companies House requirements.

Once your identity has been successfully verified, we will confirm the outcome and provide any relevant information associated with the verification process.
With a fixed fee of £50 per individual and no VAT charged on our fees, our service provides a transparent and professional route to completing Companies House identity verification through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider.
