Companies House Verification FAQ

An Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) is a business approved by Companies House to verify identities on their behalf. TaxStats ID is registered as ACSP AP006589. Only ACSPs can provide identity verification that Companies House will accept.
No. GOV.UK Verify is for personal government services like tax returns. For Companies House director and PSC verification, you specifically need an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) like TaxStats ID.
All company directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) must verify their identity. Directors verify by their next confirmation statement (and by 18 November 2026 at the latest). A PSC who is not a director has a separate deadline — within the first 14 days of their birth month — and continuing as an unverified PSC after it is a criminal offence.
Once verified, your Personal Code is permanent. You only need to verify your identity once, and the code works for all your directorships and PSC positions across all companies, now and in the future.
We submit your verified identity to Companies House. They will then email your unique Personal Code directly to you within a few days. You'll use this code whenever you file company documents.
Yes. We use bank-level encryption and are fully GDPR compliant. Your documents are processed securely and we retain records for 7 years as required by law. We never share your data with third parties.
