As a registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) with Companies House, Jesson Accountants is officially approved to conduct identity verification checks and request Companies House Personal Codes for company Directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) — even if they are not our existing clients. These new Personal Codes will be required for Directors and PSCs to update their information or submit filings in the future. Please note that these Personal Codes are distinct from the existing company web filing codes currently in use.
Companies House has announced that obtaining a Companies House Personal Code via an
identity verification process, will become a legal requirement for all company directors and people
with significant control (PSCs) . All company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) whether
they are UK residents or Non UK residents, will have to verify their identity to prove who they are.
Get ahead and verify your identity now.
You can find the list of required documents here. If you do not have the documents mentioned in this list, you can contact us and we will help you out.
All company directors, People with Significant Control (PSCs) and anyone who incorporates a UK company will be legally required to verify their identity under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. This applies to both UK and Non-UK residents.
Yes, absolutely. We are already authorised to carry out identity verifications on behalf of Companies House. Verifying now ensures you avoid delays and receive your Companies House Personal Code early.
No. We verify both UK and overseas officers, even if you don’t have a UK address or biometric passport. We accept a range of internationally recognised documents.
We usually complete the verification within 5 working days of receiving your documents. However, on some occasions it can take more time if we have not received all the required and acceptable documents at once or where an additional check is required.
Once your identity is verified, you will receive your Companies House Personal Code to your registered email address.
At Jesson Accountants Ltd, we’re dedicated to providing reliable, professional, and forward-thinking accounting solutions for businesses and individuals across the UK.
