All people with significant control (PSCs) in your company need to complete identity verification
If you’re a PSC of a company, you must verify your identity for Companies House.
You can check the Companies House register to see if you’ve completed your verification:
- Search for your company.
- Select the People tab and click on 'Persons with significant control’.
- Check the identity verification status of each PSC.
If a PSC has completed all verification steps, you'll see a green tick. If they have not completed identity verification, you'll see their due from and due by dates.
