Why It's Required

New Legislation Is Now in Effect

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 introduced mandatory identity verification for all company directors, persons with significant control (PSCs), and anyone filing on behalf of a company at Companies House.

This applies to new appointments as well as existing directors and PSCs. Failure to verify can result in restrictions on your ability to file at Companies House and potential penalties.
