Tips for a Smooth Verification
Match your name exactly: Your name on the ID must match how you're registered at Companies House.
Good lighting: For digital verification, make sure your face and ID are clearly visible.
Valid documents: Your ID must be current and not expired.
Stable internet: For video call verification, a good connection helps.
