What Is Included in the £40 Identity Verification Bundle?

Your £40 one-off fee includes the core services required to provide a secure and professionally supported identity verification journey.

Companies House Identity Verification Through an ACSP
Coddan CPM acts as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, enabling us to verify eligible individuals for Companies House in accordance with the applicable requirements.

This means you are not simply buying access to a piece of software. You are using a professionally managed verification service delivered by an authorised intermediary.

Fast & Simple: Your Gateway to Compliance
Need to verify your identity for Companies House without the technical headaches? Our Essential package is designed for directors and PSCs who have standard biometric ID and want to get verified quickly, accurately, and professionally. We strip away the complexity of government portals, providing you with a dedicated submission pathway that ensures your identity is linked to your records correctly—the first time.

Secure Identity Document Validation Technology
Your identity check uses secure Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) to assess your identity document and help confirm that you are the genuine person presenting it.

Depending on the applicable verification route, this may involve checking an accepted photo identity document and completing a quick facial or liveness check.

The objective is straightforward: verify that you are who you say you are securely and efficiently.

Human Compliance Oversight
This is one of the most important differences between our £40 bundle and a purely automated journey.

Real professionals support the verification process.

Where something needs attention, our compliance team can help identify potential problems such as:

  • inconsistent personal details;
  • name discrepancies;
  • issues with identity documentation;
  • overseas document complications; or
  • other circumstances requiring additional attention.

Transparency isn’t just a requirement; it’s a business asset. Discover how verified identities build credibility: [ Building a Transparent Business: Key Considerations for Identity Verification ].



You are not simply left with an automated form and expected to work everything out alone.

Three Simple Steps. That’s All It Takes.
We have designed the bundle around simplicity.

Step 1: Upload Your Photo ID
Provide an accepted identity document, depending on your circumstances and the available verification route.

For many applicants, this may be a passport or eligible photocard driving licence.

Step 2: Complete Your Identity Check
Complete a quick selfie or liveness check to help confirm that you are the genuine person shown on the identity document.

Secure verification technology supports the process, while professional assistance is available if something requires additional attention.

Step 3: Complete Verification and Receive Your Personal Code

Following successful verification and completion of the applicable process, you receive your unique Companies House personal code.

This code belongs to you as an individual rather than to one particular company. It is used to connect your verified identity with relevant corporate roles, such as being a company director or Person with Significant Control.

Upload. Verify. Receive. Done.

Who Is the £40 Bundle For?

The Identity Verification Bundle is designed for individuals who want a simple, professionally supported route through Companies House identity verification.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • new company directors;
  • existing company directors who need to meet verification requirements;
  • Persons with Significant Control;
  • overseas directors of UK-registered companies;
  • international entrepreneurs forming UK companies;
  • non-UK resident PSCs;
  • individuals accepting a new director appointment;
  • owners and directors involved with several UK companies; and
  • busy business owners who simply want to get the requirement completed without unnecessary complexity.

Whether you live in the UK or overseas, the objective is the same: help you complete your identity verification with less friction and greater confidence.

What Do You Need to Get Started?
For most straightforward online verification cases, you should have:

  • an accepted valid photo identity document;
  • a smartphone with a working camera; and
  • approximately 5–10 minutes to complete the online steps.

Depending on your circumstances and the verification route available, accepted documents may include an eligible passport, UK photocard driving licence, national identity card or another supported government-issued identity document.

If your documents or circumstances are less straightforward, professional guidance can help identify the appropriate next step.

Is the Process Fully Online?
Yes. The standard verification journey is designed to be completed online.

There is no need to visit our office for a straightforward digital verification. You can begin remotely using your smartphone and identity document.

This makes the service particularly convenient for:

  • UK-based directors and PSCs;
  • overseas owners of UK companies;
  • international entrepreneurs;
  • non-resident directors; and
  • busy professionals who want to complete the process without unnecessary appointments.

Your UK company may be registered here. You don’t have to be.

What Does Human Support Actually Mean?
Human support means that there is a professional team behind your verification—not simply an automated interface.

If something requires attention, Coddan CPM can help you understand the issue and the next appropriate step.

This is particularly valuable where:

  • the name on your identity document differs from company records;
  • your documents were issued outside the UK;
  • an automated check encounters a problem;
  • your personal details have changed;
  • you are unfamiliar with Companies House verification requirements; or
  • you simply want professional reassurance that the process is being handled correctly.

Our purpose is to remove unnecessary friction and help catch avoidable issues before they become bigger problems.



Why Pay £40 If a Free Government Route May Be Available?

This is a reasonable question.

For some applicants, a free government self-service route may be available and entirely suitable. If your circumstances are straightforward and you are comfortable navigating the process independently, that option may meet your needs.

The £40 Coddan CPM bundle is for customers who prefer a different experience.

You are paying for:

  • ACSP-led identity verification;
  • secure IDVT technology;
  • human compliance oversight;
  • professional pre-checking;
  • help identifying potential errors or inconsistencies;
  • practical assistance when something needs attention; and
  • a straightforward route designed to help you get the requirement completed.

The free route gives you a self-service process. Our £40 bundle gives you a professionally supported process.

What Is Not Included?

Transparency matters. The £40 Identity Verification Bundle is specifically designed to complete the identity verification process and should not be confused with a wider company secretarial or ongoing compliance package.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the £40 fee does not automatically include:

  • unlimited ongoing company secretarial support;
  • unrelated Companies House filings;
  • correction of historical company records;
  • legal advice;
  • document translation;
  • complex corporate restructuring work; or
  • unlimited manual compliance casework beyond the scope of the verification service.

If your circumstances require additional services, our team can explain the available options clearly before further work is undertaken.



You pay £40 for a defined, professionally supported identity verification service—without an unnecessary subscription or long-term commitment.

What Happens If My Verification Is Not Straightforward?
Not every identity check follows exactly the same path.

Some applicants may encounter issues involving:

  • non-standard identity documents;
  • non-biometric passports;
  • overseas documentation;
  • name discrepancies;
  • changed personal details;
  • technical difficulties; or
  • information that requires further review.

This is where professional support becomes especially valuable.

Rather than simply leaving you with a failed automated check and no clear idea what to do next, our team can help identify the issue and explain the appropriate next step.

Where a different verification route or additional service is required, this should be made clear to you.

Will I Receive a Companies House Personal Code?

Following successful identity verification and completion of the applicable Companies House process, you receive a unique personal code associated with your verified identity.

Your personal code is important because it can be used to connect your verified identity with relevant roles you hold, including applicable director and PSC roles.

The code is personal to you. It should be kept secure and should not be confused with a company’s authentication code.

If you are involved with several UK companies, the same personal verification identity may be relevant across your applicable corporate roles, subject to Companies House requirements.

Why UK and Overseas Customers Choose the £40 Bundle

UK-based customers often choose the service because they want to save time, avoid uncertainty and have professional support available if something goes wrong.

Overseas customers may value the service even more because they are dealing with UK corporate requirements from another jurisdiction.

The bundle is particularly attractive because it offers:

  • a one-off fixed price of £40;
  • no subscription;
  • no long-term contract;
  • a fully online process;
  • support for eligible UK and international applicants;
  • secure verification technology;
  • human compliance oversight; and
  • an experienced ACSP team behind the process.

The proposition is deliberately straightforward.

You need to verify. We help you get it done.

What is the fastest way to reduce friction in Companies House identity verification?

The most effective way to reduce identity verification friction is to choose the correct verification pathway, provide accurate personal information, submit clear and suitable identity documents, and resolve discrepancies before verification begins. Straightforward cases can then progress through secure IDVT checks with professional ACSP oversight.

How do I verify my identity for Companies House?

You can verify your identity directly through the government verification service or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP). An ACSP can conduct identity verification on your behalf under the applicable Companies House requirements and, following successful verification, enable the issue of your unique 11-character personal code.

Who needs Companies House identity verification?

Companies House identity verification requirements apply to company directors, Persons with Significant Control (PSCs), relevant LLP members and certain other individuals within the UK corporate filing framework. The applicable deadline and method for providing verification details depend on the person’s role and circumstances.

What is the six-step process for Companies House identity verification?

The six-step process is: confirm your verification route, prepare your identity evidence, submit your documents securely, complete identity verification, receive your 11-character Companies House personal code, and provide that code for each applicable corporate role.

What happens after I receive my Companies House personal code?

After receiving your 11-character personal code, you may need to provide it separately for each relevant corporate role you hold. Directors, PSCs and individuals with roles across multiple companies should ensure their verified identity is correctly linked through the appropriate Companies House process.

Can overseas directors complete Companies House identity verification remotely?

Yes. Eligible overseas directors can complete Companies House identity verification remotely, either via a government verification route or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. The appropriate pathway depends on the applicant's identity documents, circumstances and whether the available verification technology can successfully process their evidence.

What happens if standard identity verification does not work?

If standard identity verification is unsuitable due to document complexity, data discrepancies, previous failed attempts, or other exceptional circumstances, an expert or manual verification pathway may be more appropriate. The correct route depends on the identity evidence available and the complexity of the applicant’s case.

Is identity verification the same as linking my Companies House personal code to my roles?

No. Identity verification establishes who you are and results in a unique personal code. Role linking is a separate compliance step in which the code is provided for each applicable directorship, PSC position or other relevant corporate role.

Why Now? Identity Verification Is No Longer Optional

Companies House identity verification is now a legal compliance requirement for company directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) under the UK’s corporate transparency reforms. The purpose is clear: to make it harder for criminals to hide behind false identities, reduce corporate fraud, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the UK company register.

For directors and PSCs, the message is equally simple: if identity verification applies to your role, delaying it can create unnecessary compliance problems later.

Completing the process early can help you avoid last-minute pressure, reduce the risk of disruption to future Companies House filings, and ensure that your verified identity is ready to be connected with the relevant corporate roles you hold.

Get Verified. Strengthen Trust in Your Company.
Successful identity verification confirms that Companies House has a verified identity associated with the individual behind the relevant company role. This helps strengthen the integrity of the company’s official records and demonstrates greater transparency around who manages or controls the business.

For customers, suppliers, investors, banks and commercial partners reviewing a company, accurate and properly verified corporate information can contribute to greater confidence in the people behind the business.

Identity verification is therefore more than another compliance task. It is part of building a more transparent, credible and trustworthy corporate presence.

Don’t wait until an appointment, filing deadline or compliance requirement creates unnecessary urgency. Get verified early, protect your company’s compliance position, and move forward with confidence.

Three Simple Steps. That’s All It Takes to Get Verified.

No complicated paperwork. No unfamiliar process to work out alone. Our £40 Identity Verification Bundle gives directors, PSCs and overseas applicants a clear, fully online route through Companies House identity verification—with real human support available if you need it.

Step 1 — Upload Your Photo ID
Start by providing an accepted form of photo identification, such as your passport or driving licence, depending on eligibility and the verification route available to you.

The process is secure, online and takes only a few minutes to begin.

Have your photo ID ready. Upload it securely. Move to the next step.

Step 2 — Complete a Quick Liveness Check
Next, you complete a short liveness check—usually a quick selfie or facial verification process designed to confirm that you are the real person shown on your identity document.

Secure Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) helps compare your live image with your photo ID, while our professional compliance team is available to provide guidance if your verification requires additional attention.

A quick selfie. A secure identity check. No unnecessary complexity.

Step 3 — Receive Your Companies House Personal Code
Once your identity has been successfully verified and the process completed, you receive your unique Companies House personal code.

This code belongs to you—not to a particular company—and is used to connect your verified identity with relevant roles you hold, such as being a company director or Person with Significant Control (PSC).

If you are involved with more than one UK company, the same personal code may be used in connection with the relevant roles you hold across those companies, in accordance with Companies House requirements.

One verification. One personal code. The key to linking your verified identity to your corporate roles.

Ready to Get It Done?

1. Upload your ID. 2. Complete your selfie check. 3. Receive your personal code.
That’s it.

£40 one-off. Fully online. UK and overseas applicants welcome. Real human support included.

Get verified. Get your personal code. Move forward.

What You Need to Have Ready
Getting started is simple. Before you begin your Companies House identity verification, make sure you have just three things ready:

  • A valid photo ID — typically an accepted passport or UK photocard driving licence, depending on the verification route and your circumstances.
  • A smartphone with a working camera — you’ll use it to securely photograph your identity document and complete a quick selfie or liveness check.
  • Around 5–10 minutes of your time — most straightforward applications can be started and completed quickly when the correct documents are ready.

Which Identity Documents Can You Use?
Depending on your nationality, country of residence and the verification method available, accepted identity documents may include:

  • a biometric passport from an eligible country;
  • a UK photocard driving licence;
  • an eligible national identity card; or
  • another accepted government-issued photo identity document where supported by the applicable verification route.

If your passport is non-biometric, your document is not supported by a standard digital check, or you are unsure which ID you can use, don’t worry—our team can help you understand the available options before you get stuck.

That’s It — You’re Ready to Start

Your photo ID. Your smartphone. 5–10 minutes.
No lengthy paperwork. No office visit for the standard online route. No need to work through an unfamiliar process alone.

£40 one-off. Fully online. UK and overseas applicants welcome. Real human support when you need it.

Have your ID ready? Get verified and move forward.



Why Choose Coddan CPM Instead of Doing It Yourself for Free?

Yes, you may be able to verify your identity directly through the free government route. But if your priority is simply to get it done quickly, correctly, and without having to work through an unfamiliar process alone, Coddan CPM adds something an automated self-service journey cannot always provide: a real person checking your verification and helping you catch potential problems before they cause delays.

The Free Route Gives You a Process. We Give You a Professionally Supported Process.
With our £40 Identity Verification Bundle, you are not simply sent to an automated form and left to figure everything out yourself.

Your verification is supported by Coddan CPM as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), combining secure Identity Document Validation Technology (IDVT) with human compliance oversight.

That means we don’t just process your information. We review it, check for potential inconsistencies, and help identify issues that could otherwise cause unnecessary delays or additional checks.

Human Pre-Check: A Real Person Behind Your Verification
Even with our streamlined £40 bundle, there is real professional oversight behind the process.

Our compliance team can check for issues such as:

  • inconsistencies in personal details;
  • problems with identity documentation;
  • name or information mismatches;
  • issues affecting overseas applicants; and
  • other potential verification complications that may require attention.

The objective is simple: catch avoidable problems before they become bigger problems.

Our Zero-Error Approach: We Don’t Just Submit — We Check First

We believe identity verification should be handled correctly the first time.

That is why our approach is built around pre-checking, professional oversight, and error prevention. We do not simply pass information through without review; we apply compliance checks designed to identify potential issues before the verification is completed.



We don’t just process. We pre-check. We review. We help protect your application from avoidable errors.

While no responsible provider can guarantee that Companies House will never request additional information or conduct further checks, our role is to minimise preventable mistakes and give you professional support if an issue arises.

What Does Your £40 Actually Buy?
You are not paying simply to upload an identity document. You are paying for:

  • professional ACSP-led identity verification;
  • secure IDVT technology;
  • human compliance oversight;
  • pre-checking for potential errors and inconsistencies;
  • practical support when something needs attention;
  • assistance for UK and overseas applicants; and
  • the reassurance that you are not working through the process alone.

Free Self-Service or £40 with Human Support? The Choice Is Yours.
If your circumstances are straightforward and you are comfortable navigating the government process independently, the free GOV.UK route may be suitable.

But if you value human oversight, professional ACSP expertise, early issue detection, and someone to help when the process is not as straightforward as expected, our £40 bundle provides a clear alternative.



£40 one-off. Fully online. Human pre-check included. No subscription. No unnecessary hassle.

Don’t just submit and hope. Get checked. Get verified. Get it done.

  • approximately 5–10 minutes of your time.

No complicated paperwork. No office visit for the standard online route.

3. You Upload Your ID and Complete a Quick Selfie Check
Using the secure online verification process, you provide your accepted identity document and complete a short selfie or liveness check.

This helps confirm that you are the genuine person shown on the identity document.

Upload your ID. Complete the quick check. That’s the main part done.

4. A Real Person Supports the Process
This is where Coddan CPM adds value beyond a purely automated journey.

Your verification is handled through Coddan CPM as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), with human compliance oversight behind the process.

You’re not simply left with an automated screen and expected to figure everything out alone.

5. Your Identity Verification Is Completed
Once the required checks have been successfully completed, Coddan CPM completes the applicable ACSP verification process in accordance with Companies House requirements.

If additional information is needed, we explain what requires attention and guide you towards the appropriate next step.

6. You Receive Your Companies House Personal Code
Following successful identity verification and completion of the applicable Companies House process, you receive your unique Companies House personal code.

This code belongs to you as an individual and can be used to connect your verified identity with applicable corporate roles you hold, such as being a company director or Person with Significant Control (PSC).

Keep it secure. You may need it when confirming your verified identity for relevant Companies House requirements.

The exact evidence required depends on your circumstances and the verification method available for your case.

Discover the Details

The £40 Identity Verification Bundle is processed through Coddan CPM’s standard service queue. Processing time depends on the completeness and suitability of the information and identity evidence provided and whether further clarification is necessary. Applicants requiring priority handling should consider the Fast-Track Expert ID Verification™ service.
If the standard route is unsuitable because of document complexity, previous verification problems, significant data discrepancies or the need for individual manual assessment, a different verification pathway may be recommended. Coddan CPM’s higher-tier services are designed for applicants who require priority handling, expert review or more flexible manual verification.
A Companies House personal code is a unique 11-character identifier issued following successful identity verification. It belongs to the individual rather than to a particular company and may need to be provided separately for each relevant corporate role the individual holds.
Generally, an individual completes identity verification once and receives a personal code. However, verification and role linking are separate compliance steps. The personal code may need to be provided for each relevant role, including different directorships and PSC positions, through the appropriate Companies House process.
Not necessarily. Receiving your personal code confirms successful identity verification, but the code may still need to be linked to each applicable corporate role. A person who is a director of multiple companies, or both a director and a PSC, may have separate role-specific compliance actions to complete.
Coddan CPM provides an ACSP-led approach that can connect identity verification with the wider corporate compliance journey.
The £40 Identity Verification Bundle is designed for straightforward cases processed through the standard service queue. The £65 Fast-Track Expert ID Verification™ package provides priority handling; the £125 Expert Identity Verification™ service provides two professionally managed verification pathways; and the £220 FlexiVerify Option™ is designed for more complex cases requiring expert manual identity verification and individual assessment.
