Do I need to verify my identity with Companies House?

Yes. Since 18 November 2025 every new director and person with significant control must verify their identity. You can do it free through GOV.UK One Login, or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, which may charge a fee. You then receive a personal code that links you to the company.
