Addresses the exact gap flagged earlier against overseas-director competitor content — international accountants and introducers routinely have clients who are directors of UK companies but hold non-UK, non-biometric passports, making the GOV.UK digital route impractical. This package gives intermediaries a manual-verification channel they can route their overseas clients through directly, with document handling across multiple jurisdictions’ ID standards and a dedicated overseas-documents specialist (rather than a generalist reviewer). This directly undercuts competitors who only support UK-resident, biometric-passport verification as their default assumption.
Identity verification assumes a UK-resident client with a biometric passport and easy access to the GOV.UK One Login route — an assumption that breaks down for the international clients most intermediaries actually manage. Coddan CPM’s DirectorBridge™ gives accountants and introducers a manual verification channel built specifically for overseas directors and PSCs of UK companies or UK establishments, delivered under our regulated ACSP framework.
What’s included:
Manual verification handled by a specialist experienced in non-UK, non-biometric documentation
Support across multiple jurisdictions’ ID standards, not limited to UK-issued passports
Dual-role verification option for overseas individuals who are both director and PSC of the same company
Written case notes confirming the route taken and the basis for verification, for your own client file records
GDPR-compliant, encrypted documentation storage and full AML-compliant records retained for the required statutory period
DirectorBridge™ closes the gap competitors leave open — genuine verification for clients the standard digital route was never built for. Overseas Verified. Properly Documented. Genuine Compliance, Without Borders.
