Identity Verification for Companies House Compliance

Fast, secure, and compliant identity checks for directors and individuals under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.

Identity Verification

Bridgehouse is a Companies House authorised agent and can complete identity verification as required by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. Use our service to verify your own identity or the identity of others.

How it works

The process is straightforward:

Complete our form – Provide basic details to start the verification process.
Pay the verification fee – Secure payment options are available online.
We take it from there – We will contact each of the directors listed to request their identity information in a safe and secure environment.
Each individual will be asked to upload ID documents via a secure link and take a photo of their ID and a selfie. Additional documents may be requested depending on personal circumstances.
Once everything is processed, we will confirm the verification and each director will receive their unique Companies House personal code.

Please read the following disclaimer before you start the process

Please ensure you have read this disclaimer and made appropriate checks before submitting a request

As an ACSP providing director identification verification services, we commence processing applications immediately upon receipt. Should it be determined at any stage, whether through our verification procedures or information provided to us, that the applicant already possesses a valid personal code, the service will be considered to have been initiated and substantially performed. Accordingly, no refund shall be issued in such circumstances. Applicants are therefore advised to confirm whether a personal code has previously been allocated before submitting a request.

Accepted Documents

We work with Credas, a certified Identity Service Provider, to ensure your identity verification is handled securely and meets all compliance standards.

To complete verification, you will need one of the following:

Biometric passport
Non-biometric passport
Photocard driving licence (UK, EU, Channel Islands, Isle of Man)
Biometric EU or EEA identity card
UK biometric residence permit
UK biometric residence card
Irish passport card
UK frontier worker permit

If you are overseas, have moved home recently, or have changed your name, we may need additional documentation.

After you have filled the basic details form in, you will be asked how many directors you wish to verify, their names and email addresses, plus your payment details. The Directors Verification Check will not be processed until payment has been made.

Payment Options
The verification fee is £130 + VAT (if applicable) per identity check. We offer flexible payment options by Credit/debit card.
