Directors and PSC Verifications

As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) registered with Companies House, DBM Accountancy offers professional identity verification services for company directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.

These mandatory checks, effective from 18 November 2025, ensure the integrity of the Companies House register. We help clients comply efficiently and avoid filing rejections or penalties.

Why Identity Verification is Required How We Verify as Your ACSP Documents Required

Why Identity Verification is Required

From 18 November 2025:

  • New directors and new PSCs must verify their identity before appointment or incorporation.
  • Existing directors and PSCs have until 18 November 2026 to complete verification.
  • Once verified, you receive a unique Companies House personal code (usable across all roles/companies).

Failure to verify can block filings or lead to enforcement action.
