Director ID Verification

Yes — our service is 100% remote. No in-person visits or Post Office trips required. The entire process (document upload, payment, and verification) is completed online and typically less than 1 hour, making it ideal for busy or overseas directors.

No – we make the process easier than many other methods:

• UK residents: TripleCheck uses advanced electronic data checks (from major credit agencies) to verify your address without needing physical documents like bills or council tax statements.

• Non-UK/international directors: We collect your current address and history during the form step, but no proof-of-address uploads are required – our SmartSearch tools handle sanctions screening and overall compliance.
  This keeps things quick (under 1 hour often), secure, and remote – just ID photo + selfie.

Our standard price is £49. Pricing is per person — contact us or start the process for exact quotes, including multi-director discounts.

TripleCheck verifies UK addresses digitally via credit agencies; non-UK uses SmartSearch screening - keeps it fast & simple without extra uploads.

We accept a wide range of documents, including passports (UK or international), UK photocard driving licences, biometric residence permits, and certain national ID cards. We'll guide you on exact requirements during the secure upload process.

We use advanced AI technology to confirm your ID is valid and can use a variety of documents that the official Gov One app doesn’t accept. We are confident that if your ID is genuine, we will be able to validate it.

If we cannot, we will refund you in FULL.

Most verifications are completed within 1 hour once documents are submitted. You'll receive your unique Companies House personal code shortly after we confirm your identity.

Absolutely — our remote ACSP service is perfect for international directors. We handle verifications for directors worldwide, often accepting broader document types than the direct GOV.UK route.

Yes, unless you want your company to be struck off. Director and PSC ID verification is mandatory. We can also file your confirmation statement too. Our fee is just a little more than Companies House charge and we ensure everything is done correctly for you.

No — you only verify once and receive one personal code, which you can link to all your directorships and PSC roles across multiple companies.

The GOV.UK One Login is free but can involve technical issues or limited document acceptance. Our authorised ACSP service offers expert support, faster processing, broader document options, and full remote convenience.

Verification became mandatory from 18 November 2025 for new appointments. Existing directors/PSCs have a transition period (typically until your next confirmation statement in 2026). Verify early to avoid issues.

Non-compliance is a criminal offence and can lead to unlimited fines, filing rejections, director disqualification, or company strike-off. Verify now to stay compliant.

Yes — we are an authorised ACSP supervised by HMRC under UK AML regulations. All data is handled securely with encryption and deleted after the mandatory period for retention under the Money Laundering Regulations and in full compliance with GDPR.

Yes — we provide bundled pricing for groups of more than three (e.g., multiple directors in one company or across a portfolio). Mention this when starting your verification.

We're a registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider focused solely on fast, remote director ID checks. With expert handling, competitive pricing, and a simple online process — plus our current 25% January discount — we make compliance straightforward.

Many directors worry about submitting personal data and biometrics (like facial scans) via GOV.UK One Login, due to fears of centralised government storage, potential hacking, or data misuse. These concerns have been raised in media and public discussions, especially around past certification issues with One Login. However, the process is designed to be secure: verification data is not made public on the Companies House register, and it's only used for compliance purposes. Companies House states that supporting information (e.g., ID checks) is stored non-publicly and shared only for lawful reasons, such as fraud prevention. No major breaches of verification data have been reported.

Yes — if you verify directly via GOV.UK One Login (e.g., using the app for a selfie and ID scan), biometric facial data is processed as part of the check. This data is handled according to the GOV.UK One Login privacy notice and UK data protection laws, but it involves central government systems.

With an ACSP, you avoid GOV.UK One Login entirely — no biometric data is submitted to government systems. Instead:

• You provide ID documents directly to us (securely, via encrypted upload or in-person).

• We perform the checks to the same official standard.

• We submit only minimal details to Companies House: your name, date of birth, address, email (for sending your personal code), check details (e.g., document types used, dates), and confirmation of verification.

• No copies of your ID documents or photos are sent to Companies House.

• We retain records securely for 7 years (as required by anti-money laundering rules), but your data stays with a regulated private provider, not a central government database.

This gives you more control and reduces exposure to any single large-scale system.

Both methods meet high security standards and are fully compliant with UK GDPR. ACSPs like us are regulated by anti-money laundering bodies and Companies House oversight.

The key difference is centralisation: direct verification involves government-held biometric data, while ACSP verification keeps sensitive documents with a trusted third-party provider and shares far less with Companies House. Many directors prefer this for added peace of mind, especially if concerned about government data aggregation.

• Companies House stores only non-public verification confirmation (e.g., status and date) — nothing from your ID documents is on the public register.

• Your personal code is emailed securely and should be kept private.

• With ACSP.VIP, we delete unnecessary data after retention periods and use end-to-end encryption.
