If you need to verify your identity for Companies House, you do not have to complete the process yourself through GOV.UK One Login.

You can ask an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, known as an ACSP or Companies House authorised agent, to verify your identity on your behalf.

An ACSP may be:

• a solicitor;
• an accountant;
• a company formation agent;
• a chartered secretary or governance professional; or
• another eligible business or professional supervised for UK anti-money laundering purposes.

The ACSP completes the required identity checks and then tells Companies House that it has successfully verified you.

Companies House then sends your 11-character personal code to your individual email address. You use that code to connect your verified identity to each Companies House role you hold.

Quick Answer

Using an ACSP can be particularly useful if:

• you live outside the UK;
• GOV.UK One Login does not work for you;
• your passport cannot be scanned by the app;
• you have an overseas identity document;
• you want your documents checked before attempting verification;
• you prefer a person-led process;
• you have a name or date-of-birth mismatch;
• you have an urgent confirmation statement or PSC deadline; or
• you want a professional to coordinate the process.

You can use an ACSP from any country. The ACSP itself must be registered with Companies House and supervised by a UK Anti-Money Laundering supervisory body.

An ACSP may charge for the service.

What Is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider?

An Authorised Corporate Service Provider is a person or business that has registered with Companies House as an authorised agent.

To qualify, the agent must already be supervised by a UK Anti-Money Laundering supervisory body.

Examples include:

• solicitors;
• accountants;
• company formation agents; and
• other eligible AML-supervised professionals.

An ACSP can be a business, such as a limited company or partnership, or an eligible sole trader.

Companies House introduced the ACSP regime so that it knows which professional agents are verifying identities and, increasingly, who is filing information on the public register.

What Can an ACSP Do?

An authorised agent can perform Companies House identity checks for clients.

The process normally involves:

1. collecting your personal information;
2. reviewing suitable identity evidence;
3. confirming that you are a real person;
4. confirming that the identity belongs to you;
5. completing document or technology checks that meet the Companies House standard;
6. retaining the required verification records; and
7. submitting the successful verification to Companies House.

The ACSP must be satisfied that you are the person you claim to be and must confirm to Companies House that its checks met the required standard.

ACSP vs GOV.UK One Login

There are two main routes for an individual to complete Companies House identity verification:

Route 1: GOV.UK One Login

This is the free government route.

Depending on your documents and circumstances, GOV.UK One Login may ask you to verify:

• with the GOV.UK One Login app;
• by answering online security questions; or
• at a participating Post Office.

Route 2: ACSP

Instead of using GOV.UK One Login, you can ask an authorised professional to complete the Companies House verification.

The ACSP may charge a fee.

Unlike GOV.UK One Login, an ACSP can offer a person-led process and may be able to assess a wider range of international identity-document combinations.

Companies House expressly recognises both routes.

Can I Choose an ACSP Even If GOV.UK One Login Would Work?

Yes.

You do not have to fail GOV.UK One Login before approaching an ACSP.

You may choose an ACSP because you:

• want professional assistance;
• live overseas;
• want documents reviewed first;
• do not want to navigate the direct online process;
• have several UK companies;
• have director and PSC roles;
• have an upcoming filing deadline; or
• need help with a mismatch or unusual identity document.

Using an ACSP is an official Companies House verification route, not an appeal or exception to GOV.UK One Login.

Can I Use an ACSP From Outside the UK?

Yes.

Companies House states that ACSP verification can be completed for someone from any country.

The authorised agent must be:

• registered as an ACSP with Companies House; and
• registered with an appropriate UK AML supervisory body.

This makes the ACSP route especially relevant to overseas:

• directors;
• PSCs;
• founders;
• shareholders;
• beneficial owners; and
• people forming UK companies.

You do not automatically need to travel to the UK merely to complete Companies House identity verification.

Can an ACSP Verify Me Remotely?

Potentially, yes.

Companies House advises people choosing an ACSP to ask whether the provider:

• requires checks in person; or
• can provide the service remotely.

Different ACSPs can operate different compliant verification processes.

A remote process may involve:

• preliminary document review;
• secure document submission;
• a live video call;
• examination of original documents on camera;
• live facial comparison;
• document-security checks;
• electronic validation; and
• follow-up verification where required.

The important point is not whether the check happens in an office or over video.

The ACSP must still meet the Companies House identity verification standard.

What Information Does an ACSP Need?

Current Companies House guidance says you will normally need to give the ACSP:

• your full name;
• your home address;
• your email address; and
• evidence proving your identity.

The ACSP decides which evidence it can use under the Companies House verification standard.

For the submission to Companies House, the ACSP also needs information including:

• your name as shown on at least one identity document;
• date of birth;
• home address;
• individual email address;
• details of the verification method;
• documents used;
• date the checks were completed; and
• relevant document reference, expiry and country information.

Why Is the Email Address Important?

Companies House sends your personal code to the email address the ACSP provides.

The ACSP should therefore check this carefully before submitting the verification.

Companies House says that you should make sure:

• the address is correct;
• you control it; and
• you can access emails sent to it.

Do not casually use:

• an old work email;
• an inaccessible mailbox;
• someone else’s email;
• an accountant’s general inbox; or
• a company address that you cannot personally access.

What Documents Does an ACSP Need?

The exact documents depend on the method used.

Companies House has a detailed identity verification standard covering:

• technology-led verification; and
• person-led verification.

An ACSP may therefore ask for:

• a passport;
• photographic identity document;
• driving licence where eligible;
• national identity document where eligible;
• bank statement;
• utility bill;
• mortgage statement;
• insurance policy;
• birth certificate;
• marriage certificate; or
• another document allowed by the Companies House standard.

For overseas documents, the exact issuing country and document type matter.

A document that works for one nationality does not automatically work for another.

This is why preliminary document review can be useful before booking an identity-verification appointment.

Does an ACSP Always Need Two Documents?

Not necessarily.

The number of documents depends on the verification route.

A technology-led process may allow one suitable identity document where approved identity document validation technology can perform all required checks.

A person-led process commonly requires a qualifying combination of identity evidence.

The ACSP must determine which route applies and whether the evidence meets the Companies House standard.

Do I Need to Send My Original Passport to the ACSP?

Not necessarily for a remote service.

A suitable remote process may allow the applicant to send clear copies for preliminary review and then present the original document during a live video appointment.

The verifier may ask you to:

• show the original passport;
• display the personal-details page;
• move or tilt the document;
• show security features;
• show both sides of an identity card or driving licence;
• confirm personal information; and
• complete a live facial comparison.

The exact procedure depends on the documents and verification method.

Can an ACSP Use Copies It Already Holds?

Potentially, but this should not be misunderstood as a general rule that any old photocopy is sufficient.

Companies House addressed this point after publishing its ACSP guidance.

If you already have a professional relationship with the ACSP, that provider may previously have:

• inspected your original identity documents;
• completed identity checks;
• retained relevant records; and
• established an ongoing relationship with you.

Companies House explained that, in such circumstances, the ACSP may already have enough reliable information to complete the verification without asking you to provide the same documents again.

However:

A pre-existing relationship is not an automatic exemption from the Companies House identity verification standard.

The ACSP still needs to be satisfied that:

• you are the person you claim to be;
• the evidence remains reliable;
• the required Companies House standard has been met; and
• it can retain the records required by law.

An old photocopy from an unknown source should not be treated as sufficient merely because it sits in a client file.

Is ACSP Verification the Same as Ordinary AML Identification?

No.

This is an important distinction.

Companies House expressly states that the identity checks required for Companies House are different from customer due diligence checks used to prevent money laundering.

A solicitor or accountant may therefore already know you and have completed AML checks, but still need to consider separately whether the Companies House identity verification standard has been met.

Equally, completing Companies House identity verification does not automatically satisfy every AML requirement that may apply to another transaction.

Why Might Someone Use an ACSP?

Companies House itself identifies several possible benefits.

1. Saving Time

The ACSP carries out the identity-verification work.

Instead of navigating the entire process yourself, you provide the required information and evidence while the ACSP handles the professional verification.

2. A Structured Process

ACSPs must meet the Companies House identity verification standard.

They cannot simply decide informally that someone “looks genuine.”

3. Regulated Provider

An ACSP must:

• be registered with Companies House;
• remain under UK AML supervision;
• comply with Companies House legal requirements;
• retain identity verification records; and
• provide evidence of its checks if Companies House asks.

4. Deadline Management

An ACSP may help a client complete verification before they need the personal code for:

• a confirmation statement;
• a director appointment;
• company incorporation; or
• a PSC compliance period.

5. Overseas Documents

A professional can review whether a particular foreign passport, national identity card, driving licence or supporting document works under the current Companies House rules.

6. Failed GOV.UK One Login Attempts

An ACSP can provide an alternative route if:

• the app cannot scan the passport;
• the facial check fails;
• the applicant lacks suitable UK records;
• the Post Office route is impractical; or
• GOV.UK One Login cannot establish the identity.

How Are ACSPs Regulated?

ACSP status comes with legal obligations.

An authorised agent must:

• remain registered with at least one UK AML supervisory body;
• tell Companies House about certain changes within 14 days;
• provide information when Companies House requests it;
• keep records of identity checks for seven years; and
• comply with the Companies House identity verification standard.

Companies House can investigate authorised agents and request evidence of identity checks.

If an agent fails to comply, Companies House may:

• suspend its ACSP status;
• cease its ACSP status;
• prevent it from verifying identities;
• prevent it from filing as an authorised agent; and
• pursue legal consequences where the statutory requirements have been breached.

How Long Must an ACSP Keep My Verification Records?

Seven years.

Companies House requires ACSPs to retain records of the identity checks they perform for seven years from the date they complete the verification.

The records include evidence supporting how the ACSP reached the conclusion that the person is who they claim to be.

Although the ACSP keeps document copies and records, it does not normally upload copies of the identity documents themselves to Companies House.

Instead, the ACSP submits information about:

• the person;
• documents used;
• verification method; and
• date of verification.

What Happens After the ACSP Verifies Me?

Once the ACSP successfully completes the identity checks, it uses the Companies House authorised agent service to submit the verification.

Companies House then emails your personal code to the individual email address supplied by the ACSP.

The code contains 11 characters.

Companies House says the email should normally arrive within a few hours. Check your spam or junk folder if you cannot see it.

What If My Personal Code Does Not Arrive?

First contact the ACSP that verified you.

Ask the ACSP to confirm:

• that the submission succeeded;
• which email address it provided; and
• whether Companies House returned an error.

If the ACSP provided an incorrect email address, the ACSP needs to correct the details.

If the email address is correct, Companies House says you can contact Companies House and ask for the ACSP team to resend the personal-code email.

Can I Save the Personal Code to My Companies House Account?

Yes.

After receiving the personal code, Companies House allows you to sign in to or create a Companies House account.

Once saved, you can:

• view your personal code through the account; and
• update your email address when necessary.

Companies House includes instructions when it emails the code.

What Does Companies House Show Publicly After ACSP Verification?

This is an important point.

The ACSP verification itself does not simply disappear into Companies House’s internal records.

When you later use your personal code to connect the verified identity to a relevant Companies House role, the public register can show an identity verification statement.

Companies House says that statement includes:

• your name;
• the date your identity was verified;
• the name of the ACSP that verified you; and
• the name of the AML supervisory body or bodies supervising the ACSP.

This creates transparency about both:

• the verified individual; and
• the authorised agent responsible for the identity check.

Does the ACSP Give Me the Personal Code?

No.

The ACSP verifies your identity and submits the verification to Companies House.

Companies House creates and sends the personal code.

This distinction matters.

An ACSP cannot simply make up or independently issue a valid Companies House personal code.

Is ACSP Verification Valid for Other Government Services?

No.

If an ACSP verifies your identity for Companies House, the verification applies to Companies House.

It does not automatically verify you for:

• HMRC;
• DVLA;
• DBS;
• immigration services;
• benefits;
• another government department; or
• another GOV.UK service.

This differs from GOV.UK One Login, which is designed for use across an expanding range of government services.

What Happens After Verification for Directors?

Directors need to connect the personal code to their director roles.

Existing Directors

An existing director normally provides their Companies House personal code as part of the company’s next confirmation statement.

If the same person is director of more than one company, they use the same personal code for each appointment.

However, each company must connect that identity to the relevant directorship separately.

New Directors

A new director needs the personal code when they are appointed.

If someone becomes a director during the incorporation of a new company, the incorporation filing asks for the personal code.

What Happens After Verification for PSCs?

A PSC also needs to connect the personal code to the PSC role.

The same personal code can be used, but the PSC requirement remains separate from any director role.

PSC Who Is Also a Director

If you are both director and PSC of the same company, you normally:

1. provide the personal code for the director role through the confirmation statement; and
2. provide the same personal code again for the PSC role during the separate PSC compliance period.

The PSC’s 14-day period normally starts on the day after the company’s confirmation statement date.

PSC Who Is Not a Director

An existing PSC who is not a director of the same company normally provides the personal code during the first 14 days of their birth month.

New PSC

A new PSC can provide the code when first registered or during the relevant 14-day period after registration.

Does an ACSP Automatically Connect My Personal Code to My Companies?

No.

Identity verification and role linking are separate steps.

An ACSP can:

• verify you;
• submit the successful verification; and
• assist with later Companies House filings where authorised.

But simply receiving a personal code does not automatically connect it to every company where you are a director or PSC.

You must ensure that each required role is completed.

What About Relevant Legal Entities?

A PSC can sometimes be a legal entity rather than an individual.

Current Companies House guidance says identity-verification requirements for officers of corporate PSCs will be introduced at a later date.

Therefore, do not automatically apply the individual PSC verification process to a Relevant Legal Entity or assume that the future corporate PSC officer regime is already fully live.

Check the current Companies House guidance when dealing with:

• Relevant Legal Entities;
• corporate PSCs;
• corporate directors;
• corporate LLP members; or
• other non-individual controlling entities.

How Do I Find an ACSP?

You can start by asking your existing:

• solicitor;
• accountant;
• company formation agent; or
• other AML-supervised professional

whether they are registered as an ACSP.

Companies House also publishes a list of authorised agents.

However, the public list is not a complete register of every ACSP. It only includes agents that have chosen to have their details published.

The public list was updated again on 20 August 2026, so it is worth checking the latest version rather than relying on an old copy.

How Should I Choose an ACSP?

Companies House does not endorse or recommend the agents on its public list.

It advises users to research the provider’s:

• reputation;
• experience;
• services;
• fees;
• terms and conditions; and
• whether checks are available remotely or only in person.

You should also check whether the ACSP appears on the Companies House list of ceased or suspended authorised agents.

A suspended or ceased ACSP cannot act as an authorised agent while that status applies.

Questions to Ask an ACSP Before Paying

Useful questions include:

1. Are you currently registered with Companies House as an ACSP?
2. Which AML supervisory body supervises you?
3. Do you provide identity verification as a standalone service?
4. Can the verification be completed remotely?
5. Can you verify someone living outside the UK?
6. Which documents will you accept?
7. Can you review the documents before payment or appointment?
8. How much does the service cost?
9. Does the fee include the Companies House submission?
10. Can you assist with the later director or PSC filing?
11. What happens if my documents do not meet the standard?
12. What happens if Companies House records the wrong date of birth?
13. How will my personal information and identity records be retained?

When Is an ACSP Particularly Useful for Overseas Directors?

The ACSP route can be especially useful where an overseas director:

• cannot use GOV.UK One Login;
• does not have UK credit history;
• has a foreign passport without a usable chip;
• has an overseas national identity card;
• has a foreign driving licence;
• needs an alternative document combination;
• lives far from a UK Post Office;
• has names transliterated differently;
• has a former or married surname;
• has an urgent company filing; or
• wants a professional to handle the process.

Nationality-specific document rules can matter significantly.

A passport, national ID card or driving licence that works for one nationality may not qualify in exactly the same way for another.

What If My Name Does Not Match Companies House?

The ACSP should identify this issue before submission where possible.

Problems can arise from:

• a former surname;
• married surname;
• missing middle name;
• several forenames;
• different name order;
• accents or diacritics;
• Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese or other non-Latin scripts;
• transliteration;
• shortened names; or
• historic filing errors.

Companies House uses the personal information linked to the verified identity when you later connect the personal code to a role.

A significant mismatch may therefore stop the code from connecting successfully.

Check the Date of Birth Before Verification

Date-of-birth problems deserve particular attention.

Compare:

• the passport or identity document;
• the Companies House public register; and
• the personal information being submitted by the ACSP.

An incorrect date of birth can prevent the verified identity from linking to the existing Companies House record.

Do not leave this check until the confirmation statement or PSC deadline.

Same-Day Remote Companies House Identity Verification

Our Legal Consultant is registered with Companies House as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider.

Through our partner solicitor, we can arrange remote Companies House identity verification by video call for suitable directors and PSCs.

Same-day identity checks and ACSP submission may be available where:

• the documents are reviewed in advance;
• the document combination meets the Companies House standard;
• all required personal information is available;
• the applicant has the original documents;
• the video verification succeeds;
• the identity information matches;
• no unresolved document issue arises; and
• all necessary compliance checks can be completed.

Same-day service refers to the identity check and ACSP submission.

Companies House controls the subsequent processing and delivery of the personal code.

How Our Remote ACSP Process Works

Step 1: Send Your Documents for Review

Send clear images of the documents you propose to use.

For a passport, provide the complete personal-details page.

For a card-format document, provide both sides.

For a supporting document, provide the complete document rather than a cropped screenshot.

Step 2: Provide Your Personal Information

This normally includes:

• full legal name;
• former names;
• date of birth;
• current residential address;
• address history where required;
• individual email address; and
• details of the relevant Companies House role.

Step 3: We Check the Document Route

We review:

• document type;
• country of issue;
• validity;
• expiry;
• security features;
• name consistency;
• date of birth;
• address evidence; and
• the Companies House verification route available.

Where the proposed documents do not provide a suitable route, we identify another combination before completing the appointment where possible.

Step 4: Attend the Video Appointment

During a person-led remote verification, you may need to:

• appear clearly on camera;
• show the original documents;
• move or tilt the documents;
• show security features;
• confirm your personal information;
• complete a live facial comparison; and
• answer relevant identity questions.

Step 5: ACSP Submission

After the required checks have been completed successfully, the verification is submitted to Companies House through the authorised agent service.

Step 6: Receive Your Personal Code

Companies House sends your 11-character personal code directly to the individual email address supplied in the submission.

Companies House says this should normally arrive within a few hours.

Step 7: Connect the Code to Your Roles

The personal code then needs to be used for the relevant:

• director appointment;
• confirmation statement;
• PSC role; or
• other Companies House requirement.

Which Documents Does an ACSP Accept?

The documents must meet the Companies House identity verification standard.

The exact combination depends on:

• nationality;
• document type;
• expiry;
• verification method; and
• whether the process is technology-led or person-led.

Do I Always Need to Provide My Documents Again to an Existing Accountant or Solicitor?

Not necessarily.

Companies House has said that where a professional has a pre-existing relationship with you and has previously inspected and retained suitable identity information, they may already have enough evidence.

The ACSP must still be satisfied that its Companies House verification meets the required standard.

Does an Old Passport Copy Automatically Qualify?

No.

The fact that an agent possesses a photocopy does not automatically prove that the current Companies House identity standard has been met.

Is an AML Check the Same as Companies House Identity Verification?

No.

Companies House explicitly distinguishes its identity verification checks from normal AML customer due diligence.

How Long Does an ACSP Keep My Documents?

The ACSP must retain identity-verification records for seven years.

Does the ACSP Upload My Passport Copy to Companies House?

Normally, no.

The ACSP submits information about the identity check and documents used rather than copies of the documents themselves. The ACSP retains the supporting records.

Who Issues My Companies House Personal Code?

Companies House.

The ACSP submits the successful verification, but Companies House creates and sends the code.

How Long Is the Personal Code?

Eleven characters.

Where Is the Personal Code Sent?

To the individual email address provided by the ACSP.

How Quickly Will I Receive the Personal Code?

Companies House says the email should normally arrive within a few hours after successful ACSP verification and submission.

If that email is correct, Companies House says you can contact the ACSP team and request that the personal-code email be resent.

Can I Save My Code to a Companies House Account?

Yes.

Companies House allows you to save and later view the personal code through your account.

Does the ACSP’s Name Appear on the Public Register?

Once you use the personal code to connect the verified identity to a Companies House role, the public verification statement can show the name of the ACSP that completed the identity check.

Does the Public Register Show the ACSP’s AML Supervisor?

Yes.

Companies House says the identity verification statement can include the names of the AML supervisory bodies with which the ACSP is registered.

Does ACSP Verification Work for HMRC or Other Government Services?

No.

An ACSP verifies you for Companies House. It does not automatically prove your identity for other government departments.

Do Directors Need Their Personal Code for the Confirmation Statement?

Yes.

Existing directors normally provide the personal code through their company’s confirmation statement.

Does a New Director Need a Personal Code?

Yes.

The personal code is required as part of the appointment or incorporation process.

Does a PSC Need to Provide the Code Separately?

Yes.

A PSC must connect the personal code to the PSC role separately, even if the same person has already used it as a director.

Can I Use the Same Personal Code for Several Companies?

Yes.

The code belongs to the individual. You use the same code but connect it separately to each relevant role.

What If the PSC Is a Relevant Legal Entity?

Current Companies House guidance says identity verification requirements for officers of corporate PSCs will be introduced later.

Do not assume that the future corporate PSC regime is already live.

How Do I Know Whether an Agent Is an ACSP?

Ask the provider and check the Companies House public ACSP list where appropriate.

Remember that the public list is not complete because inclusion is optional.

Does Companies House Recommend Individual ACSPs?

No.

Companies House expressly says it does not endorse or recommend the agents appearing on its list.

Should I Check Whether an ACSP Has Been Suspended?

Yes.

Companies House publishes a separate list of ceased and suspended ACSPs.

What Happens if an ACSP Does Not Follow the Rules?

Companies House can request records, investigate the agent, suspend it or cease its authorised-agent status.

Could I Have to Verify Again if My ACSP Is Suspended?

Potentially.

Companies House says it may contact people verified by a suspended or ceased agent if they need to complete identity verification again.

Can ACSP Verification Be Completed on the Same Day?

Same-day identity checks and ACSP submission may be available where:

• the evidence has been reviewed;
• the documents meet the Companies House standard;
• the applicant supplies all required information;
• the live verification succeeds;
• no mismatch remains unresolved; and
• all required checks can be completed.

Companies House controls when the personal code is subsequently generated and delivered.

Need an ACSP to Verify Your Identity for Companies House?

An ACSP can provide a practical alternative to GOV.UK One Login.

The route can be particularly useful for:

• overseas directors;
• overseas PSCs;
• applicants with foreign identity documents;
• people whose passport chip does not work;
• applicants who repeatedly fail the direct online process;
• people with complex names or identity histories;
• directors approaching confirmation statement deadlines; and
