Director & PSC Identity Verification
BC&A manages the entire process as an authorised Corporate Service Provider, ensuring your company stays compliant and your filings remain uninterrupted.
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 introduced mandatory identity verification for all company directors, people with significant control, LLP members and trustees of certain entities registered at Companies House. These requirements are being phased in from Autumn 2025, with all existing appointments required to complete verification by Autumn 2026. This is not optional — failure to verify will prevent statutory filings from being made on your behalf and puts your company at risk of penalties and removal from the register.
As an authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), BC&A is authorised to carry out identity verification on behalf of our clients. We manage the process from start to finish, update your Companies House records and provide written confirmation once verification is complete — so you have nothing to worry about and nothing to chase.
Failure to complete identity verification has direct practical consequences. BC&A and any other accountant or agent acting on your behalf will be unable to file accounts, confirmation statements or any other statutory documents until verification is complete. Your company risks financial penalties, and in serious cases, removal from the Companies House register. Acting now — well ahead of the Autumn 2026 deadline — removes that risk entirely.
You can verify independently through GOV.UK One Login or at selected UK Post Offices, in which case you must provide BC&A with your verification code promptly so we can update your records and continue filing on your behalf. Alternatively, BC&A can manage the entire process for you as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider.
Our managed service costs £50 plus VAT per director, PSC, LLP member or trustee, covers full compliance with Companies House requirements and includes written confirmation once verification is complete. If you are a director of more than one company, a single verification covers all your appointments.
Please note that all relevant individuals for each entity must be verified before we can continue to act.
