Our Accreditations
Companies House has announced that obtaining a Companies House Personal Code via an identity verification process, will become a legal requirement for all company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) . All company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) whether they are UK residents or Non UK residents, will have to verify their identity to prove who they are.
As a registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) with Companies House, Icon Offices is officially authorised to request Companies House Personal Codes by carrying out identity verification checks on Companies’ Directors and Persons of Significant control, even if they are not our existing clients. The new Companies House Personal Codes will be essential for Directors and PSCs to update their details or file documents in the future. The Personal Codes are different to Companies’ web filing codes which are already in circulation. Click here to view the list of ID documents required for your identity verification.
