Identify what is causing the difference between identity, Personal Code and Companies House records and establish the appropriate verification, filing, registrar, restoration or professional route before corrective work is attempted.

Determine the Appropriate LLP Identity Discrepancy and Correction Route.

Whether an identity check has failed, a Personal Code will not connect, Companies House information differs from the LLP's records or an earlier filing appears inaccurate, our professional team helps you establish what happened, compare the relevant evidence and classify the underlying problem before identifying the appropriate corrective, registrar, restoration or professional route.

Identify the actual discrepancy before deciding whether it concerns identity verification, Personal Code use, a filing, an LLP event, authority or the underlying records.

Compare the relevant Companies House information and LLP evidence including filings, agreements, decisions, consents, notices and other available records.

Establish what actually happened and when, distinguishing a genuine later change from an earlier filing error, disputed event or possible identity-record problem.

Check whether the problem is an incomplete identity-verification requirement, a Personal Code or role-connection issue, or a separate record and filing problem before repeating an identity process unnecessarily.

Assess the relevant member, designated-member, PSC, RLE or other capacity so that identity, membership, control and filing issues are not treated as interchangeable.

Identify the appropriate corrective pathway, which may involve a current filing, replacement filing, second filing, registrar route, restoration process or professional or legal route depending on the established facts.

Keep identity verification, Personal Code use, LLP notifications and record correction as separate connected stages so that one action is not incorrectly treated as completing another.

Coordinate confirmed administrative work within the agreed scope, while recognising that Companies House controls official filing acceptance, the register and registrar decisions.

Identify when the matter involves disputed admission, cessation, designation, control, authority or possible identity misuse requiring a separate specialist, registrar, legal or court route.

Reduce avoidable administrative errors and back-and-forth by establishing the discrepancy, relevant evidence, underlying event, problem classification and appropriate corrective route before work is progressed.

LLP identity verification

LLP Identity Problems, Record Differences and Corrective Routes

A failed identity check, an unmatched Personal Code and an inaccurate LLP filing are different problems. Coddan helps identify what appears to be wrong, compare the available evidence and determine which current, corrective, registrar, restoration or professional route may apply.

Identify the problem Information to provide

Identity verification cannot repair the register or decide a disputed legal question. The identity step, code, role connection, LLP event, filing accuracy, supporting evidence and corrective route must be examined separately.

When this service may help

Coddan starts with the observed problem rather than selecting a form from its name.

Verification will not complete

The evidence, personal details, liveness step or selected route may not meet the applicable requirements.

The code will not connect

The code, date of birth, verification details, LLP record or role process may not match.

The records disagree

Companies House information may differ from the LLP agreement, decisions, consents, notices or correspondence.

Authority is disputed

Admission, designation, cessation, PSC status, control or filing authority may require evidence and legal analysis.

Is this an identity problem or a record problem?

Similar symptoms can have different causes. The route depends on the underlying problem.

Identity-verification problem

The person cannot complete an available route, the evidence is unsupported or inconsistent, or submitted verification information may be inaccurate.

Code or role-connection problem

The individual verified but cannot access, correctly use or connect the Personal Code to the affected LLP role.

Genuine new change

The earlier information was accurate, but the person’s details, membership or control position later changed.

Earlier filing error

Information was inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated or wrongly delivered when the original document was filed.

Disputed event

The existence, date, consent, authority or validity of an admission, cessation, designation or control position is disputed.

Dissolved LLP

Dissolution may alter who can act and whether correction must wait for, accompany or follow restoration.

Identity-verification problems

A difficulty may arise from an unsupported, expired, damaged or unclear document; unavailable proof of address; differences in name, date of birth or address; another language or script; an incomplete liveness check; incorrectly entered information; or an ACSP submission error.

Review before repeating

Repeating the same unsuccessful process is not automatically the answer. Coddan first identifies the mismatch and the currently available route.

Evidence remains route-specific

Certification, translation, notarisation, apostille or another selfie does not automatically make evidence acceptable.

ACSP information

Where an ACSP supplied an incorrect detail, that ACSP may need to review and correct the information it submitted.

Coddan’s client onboarding and anti-money-laundering checks remain separate from Companies House identity verification.

What if the Personal Code does not match?

Companies House issues or makes available the individual’s code after successful verification. It belongs to the person, not the LLP, and is not the LLP authentication code.

Check whether the code was entered correctly and belongs to the affected individual.

Check whether the registered date of birth and other personal details match.

Check whether the code is being used through the correct member or PSC process.

Check whether the underlying appointment or PSC information exists and is accurate.

Do not place your Personal Code in a general website enquiry. A compromised code can be replaced through Companies House; locating a code, correcting an ACSP-supplied detail, correcting registered information and resolving a disputed role are separate tasks.

Companies House Personal Codes and Role Connection for LLP Members and PSCs

A new change is not the same as an earlier error

Genuine later change

The information was correct when filed and later circumstances changed—for example, a member changed address, left the LLP, or a person’s control genuinely changed.

Use the current-change process and update the supporting LLP evidence where required.

Earlier inaccuracy

The original document was inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated, unsupported or delivered against the wrong person or LLP.

The original document, defect, delivery status, authority and available corrective route must be examined.

Identity verification does not report a new change, and Personal Code use does not replace a required change notification or correct a historic filing.

Identity Verification When LLP Members or PSCs Change

Correcting an earlier inaccuracy

There is no single correction mechanism for every LLP document. The correct route depends on what was filed, whether it was properly delivered, what is wrong, whether the parties agree, whether authority is disputed and whether the LLP remains active.

Current filing

A genuine current event may need its ordinary notification rather than a historic correction procedure.

Replacement filing

A replacement may be relevant where an eligible document was not properly delivered or contained unnecessary material.

Second filing

A second filing may be relevant to a very minor inaccuracy in an otherwise delivered eligible document.

Registrar or legal route

Removal, rectification, protection, disputed authority or another material issue may require a different official or legal process.

LLP RP01 and LLP RP04 are different

Route	Confirmed function	Boundary
LL RP01	Replacement of an eligible LLP document previously delivered on or after 1 October 2009 that was not properly delivered or contained unnecessary material.	It is not selected merely because information changed later.
LL RP04	A second filing used to correct a very minor inaccuracy in a previously delivered LLP document.	It is not a general replacement, removal or disputed-authority procedure.

Check the procedure before filing: Depending on the original document and nature of the error, a replacement or second-filing procedure may be relevant. Eligibility and the current submission route must be confirmed before the filing is prepared.

What if admission, cessation or control is disputed?

A successful identity check establishes identity within the Companies House framework. It does not establish that a person validly joined or left the LLP, consented, was designated, satisfied a PSC condition, exercised a stated nature of control or authorised a filing.

Public information

What Companies House currently displays and which document was delivered.

Underlying evidence

What the LLP agreement, decisions, consents, notices, correspondence and control evidence show.

Professional conclusion

Whether registrar action, legal advice or court determination is needed because the issue is not merely clerical.

Companies House information and LLP supporting records

Companies House register

Records information delivered to the registrar. Filing acceptance does not necessarily establish that every underlying LLP decision was valid.

LLP evidence

The agreement, consent, decisions, notices, correspondence and applicable historic or current records may evidence what happened and when.

Updating LLP evidence does not update Companies House. Correcting Companies House information does not reconstruct missing evidence. Because LLP record-keeping legislation has changed, Coddan checks the current requirement rather than assuming every historic local register remains compulsory.

Possible misuse or confusion of identity

An unfamiliar LLP role, unexpected verification communication or filing made without apparent authority requires careful evidence. It must not automatically be described as fraud or identity theft.

Preserve evidence

Keep Companies House notices, emails, verification messages, filing entries, dates, LLP details and evidence concerning authority.

Protect information

Do not send a Personal Code, password, authentication code, unredacted address evidence or sensitive identity evidence through a general enquiry.

Select the proper authority

Companies House, an involved ACSP, an official reporting route, a legal adviser, court or another authority may need to act.

What if the LLP has been dissolved?

Dissolution can materially affect authority and the available corrective route. Administrative restoration and restoration by court order are different processes.

Not every correction requires restoration.

Not every correction can be made before restoration.

A former member does not automatically have unrestricted authority for a dissolved LLP.

The dissolution date, restoration route, original filing and authorised person must be established.

Whether a particular corrective filing can occur before, with or after restoration must be confirmed for the specific document and procedure.

LLP restoration service

Current, transitional and future position

This position was checked on 20 September 2026. The operative guidance must be checked again before action.

Current

Individual roles and available routes

Individual members and PSCs are within the current identity framework. Personal Code use, member and PSC notifications, confirmation statements, ACSP verification and conclusively established corrective routes operate separately.

Transitional

Dates remain person-specific

Mandatory verification began on 18 November 2025. A mismatch may involve pre-transition or transition filings. 18 November 2026 is not one universal deadline.

Future

Do not use future procedures now

Corporate-member, corporate-PSC-officer and general-filer verification requirements remain future and are not presented as current corrective routes.

The free Companies House route remains available

An eligible individual may use the free official verification service. Professional ACSP assistance is not compulsory. Verification may satisfy an identity requirement, but it does not automatically correct a filing or registered record.

Frequently asked questions

Will repeating identity verification correct the register?

No. It may satisfy an identity requirement, but a filing or registered-record problem needs its appropriate route.

Why will my Personal Code not connect?

The code may be entered incorrectly, belong to another person, conflict with the date of birth or ACSP details, use the wrong role process, or expose an inaccurate underlying record.

Can a Personal Code correct an LLP filing?

No. It connects a verified identity to an applicable role; it does not repair or validate the filing.

What if the registered date of birth is wrong?

It may need correction before role connection can succeed. That is different from a genuine later change because a person’s birth date does not change.

What if someone says they were never admitted?

Compare the public filing with the LLP agreement, consent, decisions, notices and contemporaneous evidence. Registrar or legal action may be required.

Is a new change the same as correcting an earlier filing?

No. A new change follows later accurate circumstances; correction concerns information already wrong when filed.

Can the confirmation statement correct every problem?

No. It is not a universal replacement for member, PSC or corrective filings.

Does verification prove PSC status?

No. PSC status and nature of control follow the statutory control conditions and evidence.

Is LL RP01 or LL RP04 the correct route?

That depends on the original document and defect. RP01 is a replacement route for specified delivery problems; RP04 is a second filing for a very minor inaccuracy.

Can LLP RP04 be used for every document?

Do not assume so. Eligibility and the current procedure must be confirmed before preparation.

What if my identity may have been used without permission?

Preserve the evidence and seek the appropriate Companies House, ACSP, official or legal route. Do not assume fraud before the facts are established.

Can Coddan correct the register?

Coddan may review and prepare confirmed work within its authority. Companies House, a court or another authority controls the register and official decisions.

What if the LLP is dissolved?

The dissolution date, restoration route, outstanding filings, original defect and authority to act must be established before selecting a route.

When is legal or court action required?

Potentially where authority, consent, admission, cessation, control, rectification, identity misuse or another material legal issue is disputed.

What affects cost and timing?

The people, roles, filings, evidence, agreement between parties, LLP status, registrar availability, restoration and legal work. Separate work is included only where expressly agreed.

Identify the problem before choosing the route

Coddan can compare the identity information, public filing and LLP evidence, then identify the appropriate confirmed administrative, registrar, restoration, professional or legal route.
