Companies House have begun circulating emails to people regarding verifying your identity. This is being implemented to prevent people intending to use companies for illegal purposes.

If you are a director of a company, a person with significant control (PSC) or a company secretary who submits company documents, you will be required to verify your identity. Although this is currently voluntary, it will become a legal requirement in time.

You can do this online using your gov.uk account or in person at a post office. Once verified, you will be provided with a Companies House personal code which you will need in order to submit documents such as confirmation statements, and for connecting your identity to Companies House records.
