Identity verification is a 2-step process:
1. Verify your identity and receive your Companies House personal code. Thi=
s code is unique to you and should be kept safe.
2. Link your verified identity to each company role you hold by providing y=
our personal code for each role. If you=E2=80=99re a director or person wit=
h significant control (PSC) for more than one company, you will have to do =
this multiple times for your different roles.
If you=E2=80=99ve already verified your identity for Companies House, you d=
o not need to do it again but you=E2=80=99ll need to complete step 2 at the=
appropriate time for each role you hold.
To see when you need to complete step 2, go to the Companies House register=
: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk, search for th=
e company and then click on the =E2=80=98People=E2=80=99 tab to view the ve=
rification status for each officer. =20

v.uk/guidance/verifying-your-identity-for-companies-house.
Identity verification requirements for limited partnerships, corporate dire=
ctors of companies, corporate members of limited liability partnerships (LL=
Ps), and officers of corporate PSCs, will be introduced at a later date.
Secretaries are not required to verify their identities.
