What Happens After Verification?

We submit to Companies House

Once we've verified your identity, we send the confirmation to Companies House the same day.

Companies House sends your Personal Code

Within a few days, Companies House will email you directly with your unique Personal Code.

You're done!

Use your Personal Code when filing documents. It works for all your directorships, and you use the same code each time.

Common Issues

My photo didn't match

Make sure you're in good lighting and looking directly at the camera. Remove glasses if possible. Try again or choose video call instead.

My document wasn't accepted

Check it's not expired and is on our accepted documents list. If digital doesn't work, video call accepts more document types.

I never received my Personal Code

Check your spam folder. It comes directly from Companies House, not from us. Contact us if it's been more than 5 working days.
