Company secretarial work and ID verification, handled together

Identity verification for directors and PSCs is being phased in under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, on top of the filings a company secretary always owed Companies House.

Verification can be done directly with Companies House or through us as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider — the route changes what evidence you need.

Where this bites

The register is only ever as good as its last update

Most company secretarial problems are not dramatic. They are small changes — a new shareholder, a resigning director — that nobody owned the day they happened.

□

Verification has two routesDirectly with Companies House, or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider — each needs different evidence

□

Filing on time doesn’t mean filing rightA confirmation statement submitted by the deadline still needs the underlying registers to be accurate

□

PSC changes run on two separate 14-day clocksOne to update the register, another to notify Companies House — missing either is a filing offence

□

Registers drift without an ownerMost inaccuracies trace back to a change nobody was responsible for recording

□

Verification is rolling out on a scheduleNew incorporations, existing directors and PSCs move onto mandatory verification at different points, not all at once

What’s included

The registers kept current, and the filings that follow

We take on the day-to-day ownership of the company’s statutory position, so changes get recorded when they happen rather than when a filing forces the question.

Director & PSC identity verification

Carried out as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider where that route applies.

Confirmation statement (CS01)

Prepared and filed against the correct review period each year.

Statutory registers maintained

Members, directors, PSCs and charges, kept current as changes happen.

PSC register monitoring

Changes identified, recorded and notified within the statutory windows.

Registered office address service

A compliant address, keeping personal addresses off the public register.

Minutes & resolutions drafted

For board and shareholder decisions that need a statutory paper trail.

How it works

Five steps to a register you can rely on

02

Identity verifiedDirectly with Companies House, or through us as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider

03

Registers reviewed and brought currentEvery change since the last review checked off against the statutory books

04

Confirmation statement filedSubmitted against the correct review period, with the registers it reports on already accurate

05

Fees

Part of the company secretarial retainer

Company secretarial support, registered office and ID verification are scoped from the number of directors, PSCs and shareholders involved, then fixed monthly before we start. All figures exclude VAT.
