Company Directors

The 18th November 2025 marks the start of a transition period. You will need to complete steps 1,2 and 3 before you can file subsequent documents at Companies House. Don't leave it too late because you risk a fine if you (or your accountant) fail to file returns and statements in the coming year.

Don't be concerned - it really is a simple process and you need a verified government account for dealing with various other government departments.

The three steps to verifying your identity to meet new Companies House requirements are....

1. Go to
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/verify-your-identity-for-companies-house

2. Set up Gov One Account and verify your identity as the company director, when complete, go to manage account and keep note of your personal code

3. Go to
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/provide-psc-verification to verify your identity as the Person with Significant Control and take note of the window in which you need to complete this step



Tip: You will find your personal code under Manage Accounts
