Description
Director ID Verification – For Companies House Compliance
As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), CLoudivine Ltd is approved to verify the identity of company directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) directly with Companies House.
This service enables you to complete your verification quickly, securely, and from anywhere in the world.
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, all company directors, PSCs, and filing agents must verify their identity before forming, managing, or filing information with Companies House.
As a regulated ACSP, Cloudivine Ltd is authorised to perform these verifications and confirm your identity so that Companies House can issue your Personal Code.
What's Included
- Verification of one director's or PSC's identity
- Automated document validation (passport, driving licence, national ID card, etc.)
- Global coverage — suitable for UK and international clients
- Facial recognition and liveness checks
- Downloadable verification record stored securely for audit under AML & ACSP Regulations
- Confirmation email once verification is complete
How It Works
- Place your order and pay the verification fee (per individual).
- Receive a secure link to upload your ID and complete a short selfie or live-video check.
- Verification is carried out by our approved partner ID checking facility, TrustID — plus in-house for some exceptional cases.
- Once verified, we record confirmation of ID with Companies House.
- Companies House then issues your unique Personal Code, which you will use for all future filings.
Processing Time
- UK Residents: typically completed within 1–2 working days
- Overseas Applicants: typically 2–4 working days
Manual or complex cases (e.g. unclear images, non-Latin documents, additional address checks) may take longer or incur an additional fee.
Important Notes
- This service is non-refundable, even if verification fails due to unreadable, invalid, or expired documents.
- Verification results are retained for 7 years in accordance with AML and ACSP record-keeping regulations.
- Each verification covers one individual only — please purchase separately for each director or PSC.
- Cloudivine Ltd reserves the right to decline verification where documents appear incomplete, fraudulent, or falsified.
