UK Companies House PSC Identity Verification & Compliance
Under UK statutory mandates introduced by ECCTA 2023, all UK company directors, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), and relevant officers must verify their identity to receive a verified personal code before incorporating or filing statutory changes with Companies House. HynoGo provides complete non-resident onboarding at a $60 fixed fee, processed securely through our registered and supervised Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) partner network.

Persons with Significant Control
Any individual holding more than 25% of company shares or voting rights, or exercising significant control, must undergo statutory identity verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Companies House Verified Personal Code?
It is an 11-character unique personal identifier assigned to an individual once their identity is verified. It links all your directorships and PSC roles across UK companies into a single verified record.
Can non-residents verify their identity from outside the UK?
Yes. Non-resident founders with a valid international passport can complete digital identity verification remotely from anywhere in the world.
What happens if a director does not complete verification?
Under ECCTA 2023, failing to complete identity verification within the statutory transition period is a criminal offence that can result in director disqualification and civil fines.
