Companies House Identity Verification

There seems to be some confusion with how the Companies House system for Identity Verification works.

Identity Verification is a two-stage process.

Stage one verify your identity and receive a Personal ID code – consisting of 11 characters

Stage 2 submit that code to Companies House for each Directorship and each Person with Significant Control (PSC).

Stage 2 must be completed within a Submission Window – these windows vary by company and between the roles of Director and PSC even where the same individual holds both roles.

Companies House will not accept early submissions thus some ID codes can be held for some months before the system will allow the codes to be filed.
