Companies House New ID Checks Are Here – Are You Ready? – Optimum: LIVE Ep. 19
In this must-watch episode of Optimum: LIVE, Chris is joined by Operations Director Tracey Heath to break down new ID verification rules from Companies House that affect every UK company director and person of significant control (PSC).
From April 2025, these changes began rolling out - but by Autumn 2026, compliance will be mandatory. If you’re a company owner, director, or accountant, this one’s essential viewing.
You’ll learn:
- What identity verification at Companies House actually means
- Who needs to take action (and when)
- What documents you’ll need and how to get your unique code
- How this change links to economic crime prevention and business transparency
- Why it’s better to act now, not later!
Optimum Professional Services are here to help – from our Cheltenham to Swindon offices, we’ll support you through the process with clear guidance and in-person support if needed.
