Buy Now Identity Verification Bundle™ (Professional Director Identity Verification) – Verification Required Before Using a Companies House Personal Code for £40.
The Identity Verification Bundle™ provides a fast, secure and professionally managed Standard Verification Route for a director who has not yet completed Companies House identity verification. The participant provides the required personal information and eligible identity evidence, the technology performs the applicable identity and document checks, and Coddan reviews the resulting information through its Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) framework. Coddan then determines whether it is satisfied that the Companies House identity-verification standard has been met. Following a successful outcome, Coddan performs its applicable notification responsibility and Companies House separately issues the Personal Code. The package establishes the verified identity that precedes use of the code; it does not itself appoint the director, link every corporate role or complete a Companies House filing. This straightforward digital pathway is suitable for many UK and overseas directors whose eligible documents and personal information present an ordinary verification case.

For £40 plus VAT, the package covers one professionally supported director identity-verification application. It may suit a proposed director who must verify before an appointment, an existing director who has not completed the applicable requirement or a participant preparing for a company incorporation. Before ordering, establish whether verification is genuinely outstanding. If you already possess an 11-character Companies House Personal Code, you normally need to provide that same code through the process applicable to your role rather than verify again. A proposed director supplies it through the relevant appointment or incorporation process; an existing director may need it through the company's applicable Confirmation Statement; and a PSC follows the separate PSC submission route. See our guide to understanding your Companies House Personal Code if its purpose or origin remains unclear. Applicants requiring faster Coddan handling can compare the £65 priority route. The free GOV.UK route also remains available where suitable.

Buy Now Fast-Track Expert Director ID Verification™ (Priority Director Identity Verification Service) – Priority Verification Before Personal Code Use for £65.
The Fast-Track Expert Director ID Verification™ service provides a professionally managed Priority Verification Route where identity verification remains incomplete and a connected appointment, incorporation or filing timetable makes faster Coddan handling important. The participant submits the required information and eligible evidence, secure technology performs the applicable checks, and Coddan reviews the resulting information through its regulated ACSP framework. Where the selected route is appropriate, all required information has been received and no additional enquiry or verification issue arises, Coddan targets its applicable processing within one business day. That target concerns Coddan's priority handling—not Companies House processing, Personal Code delivery, role connection or acceptance of a later corporate filing. If Coddan becomes satisfied that the required verification standard has been met, it completes its applicable notification responsibility. Companies House then independently controls the creation and issue of the Personal Code that the individual may subsequently need to use.

For £65 plus VAT, this package offers priority handling of one director identity-verification application. It may be suitable for a proposed director approaching an appointment or incorporation, or an existing director whose verification must be addressed before a connected company process can progress. The service does not provide priority access to Companies House and cannot guarantee when Companies House will issue the Personal Code. It also does not complete the appointment, incorporation, Confirmation Statement or PSC submission in which the code may later be used. Where further evidence or clarification is required, Coddan explains what is needed before making its satisfaction decision. This is therefore fast-track handling of the verification stage, not fast-track role linkage. If verification is complete and the code has already been received, consider the relevant proposed-director appointment route or existing-director Confirmation Statement route. Without genuine urgency, the standard £40 package may be sufficient.

Buy Now Expert Director ID Verification™ (Professional Director Verification Service) – Two Verification Pathways Before Personal Code Use for £125.
The Expert Director ID Verification™ service provides a flexible Two-Pathway Verification Route where a director still requires identity verification but the appropriate evidence route is not immediately clear. The digital pathway uses applicable identity-document validation technology where the participant and document are suitable. Where that pathway is inappropriate, an alternative professionally managed route allows the relevant evidence to be examined under the applicable Companies House standard. Coddan reviews the resulting information and makes its own decision on whether it is satisfied that the required standard has been met. The package may assist applicants whose documents or circumstances require greater route flexibility, but it does not create a Personal Code or guarantee a successful result. Following successful verification and Coddan's applicable notification, Companies House separately issues the individual's Personal Code. The same code may then be used to confirm the person's verified status for applicable appointments and roles, but each role and connected corporate process remains distinct.

For £125 plus VAT, the package provides two professionally managed identity-verification pathways for one director application, together with guidance on the route suited to the evidence presented. It may assist a UK or overseas director whose document cannot confidently be assigned to the standard digital pathway without further consideration. The service concerns verification of the individual; it does not create a separate Personal Code for each directorship or automatically connect the person with every company. A person who is both a director and PSC normally uses the same individual code, but must provide it through the process applicable to each separate role. Likewise, holding several directorships does not ordinarily require repeated identity verification, although each appointment or company filing must still be handled correctly. Review our guidance on different entities and corporate roles before transferring director requirements to an LLP member or general partner. Where neither available pathway suits the evidence, consider the individually assessed £220 option.

Buy Now FlexiVerify Option™ (Expert Manual Director ID Verification Service) – Individually Assessed Verification Before Personal Code Use for £220.
The FlexiVerify Option™ provides a professionally managed Individual Assessment Route for a director whose evidence cannot appropriately be progressed through the standard digital verification pathway. It may be suitable where biometric verification is unavailable or unsuitable, documents are non-standard, identity information requires closer examination or the applicable evidence combination needs professional assessment. Experienced compliance professionals examine the information and evidence under the applicable Companies House identity-verification standard rather than relying solely on an automated outcome. Depending on the prescribed route and available evidence, the assessment may be completed remotely or may require an appropriate in-person element. Coddan can request and review additional evidence, but cannot direct a technology provider to pass an application, overturn a GOV.UK or Post Office outcome, reduce the required standard or guarantee verification. If Coddan becomes satisfied and completes its notification responsibility, Companies House separately controls the subsequent issue of the Personal Code.

The fixed fee is £220 plus VAT for one individually assessed director identity-verification application. It reflects the additional professional work required to examine a non-standard evidence position and maintain the applicable verification record. It does not purchase a favourable outcome, a Personal Code or privileged access to Companies House. If the person has already verified successfully and the problem concerns an incorrect code, personal-detail mismatch, code access, sharing or replacement, another verification application may be unnecessary. Use our Personal Code management guidance to identify the correct next action. Similarly, using the code does not itself incorporate a company, appoint a director, complete a PSC submission, file a Confirmation Statement, correct a record or restore a company or LLP. Those remain separate corporate processes. If an available digital or alternative pathway remains suitable, compare the two-pathway £125 package. FlexiVerify is the most individually assessed verification option, not a Personal Code-use or corporate-filing package.
