Big changes at Companies House as mandatory ID checks loom

Stay ahead of significant compliance changes with Companies House’s new identity verification (IDV) regime, set to take effect from 18th November 2025.

From this date, all new and existing company directors, LLP members, and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) must complete mandatory ID checks—redefining onboarding and ongoing compliance requirements. Whether you’re an accountant, ACSP, or company administrator, understanding your new responsibilities is critical: registration, record keeping, and helping clients navigate this new process will become essential parts of your workflow.

Discover what’s required, the methods available for ID verification, and how to prepare your practice to meet government standards. Plus, find out how TaxCalc can help you embrace these changes, streamline verification and maintain your compliance edge.
