Important Update: Identity Verification Requirements Coming in Autumn 2025
From Autumn 2025, identity verification (IDV) will become a legal requirement for the following individuals:
· New and existing company directors
· People with significant control (PSCs)
· Anyone acting on behalf of a company
This requirement will also extend to other entity types, for example - members of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) will also be required to verify their identity.
You will have the option to verify your identity directly with Companies House using the GOV.UK One Login. However, London Law is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) and can complete the verification process on your behalf, offering a range of flexible options.
For more information or to discuss your specific requirements, please contact our office. We would be happy to arrange a call or meeting to support you through the process.
