Understanding the New Legal Requirements
From 18 November 2025, ID verification became mandatory for all company directors and PSCs. This applies to both new and existing companies, making company director ID verification an essential step in maintaining compliant records. Klair AccounTax provides professional guidance to ensure this requirement is met seamlessly across the following categories:
- New Directors: Must complete verification of ID before or during company incorporation
- Existing Directors: Required to verify during the transition period, typically before the next Confirmation Statement filing
- One-Time Process: Once completed, you receive a unique 11-character personal code linked to your identity
Without proper company house director ID verification, directors may face restrictions on filings, including confirmation statements, and risk penalties under UK law.
