Verify Your Identity for Companies House
From 18 November 2025, identity verification is a legal requirement for all UK company directors and people with significant control. As a Companies House Authorised Corporate Service Provider, Ulusoy Tax verifies your identity quickly and securely — and obtains your personal code.
Why You Need to Verify Your Identity
Companies House identity verification became a legal requirement on 18 November 2025 under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act. Every director and person with significant control of a UK company must verify their identity and obtain a Companies House personal code.
Required for every director and PSC when forming a new limited company.
