Identity Verification
Secure verification aligned with Companies House requirements
Verifirms provides secure identity verification for UK and non‑UK individuals, aligned with Companies House identity verification requirements and delivered in line with a risk‑based, proportionate approach.
Identity verification forms a core part of our onboarding process and is required before regulated or compliance‑related services can be delivered.
No regulated service will be provided until identity verification has been successfully completed.
What identity verification includes
Our identity verification services support compliance and help ensure that corporate services are delivered accurately, responsibly, and in line with legal requirements.
Identity verification includes:
-
Secure identity verification using approved verification processes
-
Verification for directors, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), and other relevant individuals
-
Support for UK and non‑UK identity documentation
-
Sanctions and risk screening where required
-
Secure record‑keeping in line with regulatory expectations
✅ Already completed identity verification?
If you’ve already verified your identity directly with Companies House, you do not need to verify again.
Once identity verification is completed, Companies House issues a personal code. This code can be reused for future filings and appointments.
If you’re unsure whether your identity has already been verified, or if you can’t locate your personal code, you can check directly with Companies House using the link below:
👉 Check your identity verification status or retrieve your personal code

If identity verification has already been completed, you can proceed directly with our Companies House compliance services.
