You do not need to diagnose the fault. Describe the displayed message and what you were trying to do without sending confidential evidence in an initial enquiry. Coddan supplies the appropriate instructions for the accepted case. If another provider or existing Coddan instruction is involved, mention it so overlapping purchases and contradictory instructions can be avoided.

A previous failed attempt does not automatically mean another full paid check is required. Equally, the existence of a document problem does not guarantee that standard assistance can complete every form of investigation. Coddan can clarify the supported work and any additional charge before it proceeds. This keeps the purchase connected to the actual professional task instead of making VerifyFlex an automatic upgrade after any difficulty.

This work has a boundary. It is not an unlimited forensic examination, certification of any document or a guarantee that the original evidence can be used. If the requirements cannot be met with the available material, paying for investigation does not change them. A clear explanation of that limit is part of making an informed purchasing decision rather than an invitation to keep buying until something passes.

Some customers will not need this service. If ordinary instructions resolve a straightforward capture question, the standard supported package may be enough. If a link has simply expired after three days, Coddan generates a replacement free of charge. If the individual already has accepted verification and only needs a code or role action, the appropriate next step is elsewhere. Choose VerifyFlex for its actual investigation function.

Technology-checked Option 1 and Option 2 evidence arrangements are methods within one Companies House standard, not packages producing different qualities of Personal Code. Under Option 2 the person provides two photographic Group A documents or one photographic Group A document and one Group B document. A non-UK resident must provide at least one government-issued document. An address statement alone is not the complete identity-evidence combination.

Credas may request supporting material where a passport chip has not been scanned or the selected route requires additional evidence. Such a document can remain subject to human review. The fact that a file is visible in the platform does not prove that its authenticity has been established or that all checks have been completed.

Do not confuse non-biometric supporting evidence with an absence of liveness or personal-participation requirements. Nor does a document without a chip automatically establish a wholly person-checked route. Coddan's investigation works within the supported process and current requirements, not a promise of independent verification outside Credas.

Follow the agreed evidence channel when Coddan needs material for examination. Do not attach identity images or confidential codes to a general initial message. The individual must supply accurate information and participate in the applicable personal checks; an organiser can help coordinate administration but cannot take their place in proving identity.

Tell Coddan about differences between names or address history and the documents. These may require explanation rather than another unexplained upload. If you are considering a different document type, ask whether it fits the supported instructions before submitting it. Additional payment is required where a client disregards Coddan and Credas instructions and uploads evidence outside the accepted list, such as a US driving licence.

If Coddan asks a specific question, respond to that question through the agreed route. Sending more unrelated files can obscure rather than resolve the outstanding point. Your manager can clarify what is needed next, but cannot guarantee acceptance or replace a required document with an unsupported substitute. The limits of the platform and applicable standard remain relevant throughout.

Normal manager assistance is also included in the other supported packages. VerifyFlex is not the price of being allowed to ask for help. It is the instruction for the specified investigation work when that work is needed. If the problem falls outside this scope, Coddan explains the separate task and charge before proceeding rather than presenting an open-ended promise within the existing fee.

A guarantor-member is not automatically subject to the same requirement solely by being a member. A director of a charitable company may also be called a trustee, but that company role must be identified. Do not assume every trustee in every legal structure needs this Companies House service. The existing charitable-company guidance explains the relevant distinction more fully.

The same individual may have both director and PSC roles or appointments in several companies. In most cases verification is completed once and the Personal Code is used for the applicable roles. Providing it through the appropriate role or filing route is a separate task. A record discrepancy does not automatically establish that another identity check should be purchased.

For a new CLG, accepted verification must be coordinated with the separate formation instruction. For an existing company, address the applicable role and filing requirements according to the actual circumstances. Troubleshooting identity evidence does not silently include incorporation, role linkage, confirmation statements or changes to company records. Use the established guidance and service owners for those matters.

If the supported work instead involves accepted non-biometric document review, submission and explanations responding to Credas comments, FlexiVerify is the separately defined service to consider. It includes priority, but is not a universal fallback for unsupported documents. The appropriate distinction is the work required and accepted, rather than a rule that every person moves from standard to troubleshooting to document coordination.

Further work and charges are confirmed separately before proceeding. Company formation, role filings and continuing support are not included in VerifyFlex. If the remaining need is a code issue or record correction, use the relevant destination. Clarifying that boundary can avoid paying for an investigation that does not address the actual problem.

A person with accepted verification may only need to retrieve a code or provide verification details for a role. That is different from needing a new investigation of identity evidence. The Personal Code can relate to the individual’s applicable roles across companies, while role-specific submission requirements remain. Do not assume either automatic linkage or a new fee for every appointment.

Keep codes and confidential evidence out of general enquiries. A payer or intermediary does not obtain unrestricted access because they arranged the purchase. Any later filing instruction needs appropriate authority and the agreed secure handling arrangements. Identity verification does not confer automatic power to file unrelated company documents.

AML/KYC checks also remain distinct from Companies House verification. They concern applicable customer due diligence for the service relationship, even where evidence overlaps. Completing an AML check does not automatically complete Companies House verification, and an additional evidence request does not necessarily mean a duplicate package purchase. Identify the actual unfinished stage before accepting another paid task.

Does paying for examination guarantee that my original document will be accepted? No. The work investigates the supported difficulty and explains what needs attention. A document outside the accepted process cannot be made suitable by the price paid. Ask about the actual available evidence before assuming that a more expensive service removes the requirements.

Should I order if I already have an open case? First explain the issue to the manager. Ordinary help, a free expired-link replacement and a separately accepted investigation are different things. A previous failure alone does not establish a second full fee. A clear scope discussion helps you understand what is being purchased and prevents a speculative upgrade from replacing the actual problem assessment.

Coddan reviews the accepted case, investigates the supported document issue and reaches its ACSP decision. The process must establish that the evidence is real, relates to a real identity and belongs to the person claiming it. Companies House sets the standard; a supplier result supports the professional process rather than transferring away every decision.

The relevant records must be retained under the applicable requirements, including evidence of checks and failed attempts. An unsuccessful result is not something that can simply be ignored because a different package name has been selected. The individual’s cooperation and suitable evidence remain necessary, while Coddan’s accepted work stays within its actual capabilities.

The company retains its role and filing responsibilities. New formation, current appointments and PSC information need to be coordinated through their respective instructions. This page explains the document-troubleshooting purchase; broader statutory guidance and record-correction work remain with their existing owners. That separation keeps the service focused without presenting verification as the whole of company compliance.

The invitation has expired. Should I choose VerifyFlex? Expiry alone is addressed by Coddan’s free reissue of the three-day link. Use the existing instruction and follow the replacement invitation. If a document issue also exists, describe that separately rather than confusing access to the case with the work required to investigate evidence.

The app did not accept the document. What information helps? Describe the requested step, the document category used and what happened. A manager can then clarify the accepted investigation. You are not expected to establish the technical cause, but should avoid assuming that an error message guarantees a particular outcome or permits unsupported evidence to be used.

My details differ from the company’s public record. Is VerifyFlex enough? Identity evidence and company-record corrections are different tasks. Explain the discrepancy and use the established record-correction guidance where appropriate. Investigating a document does not automatically amend an appointment, PSC record or company filing. The individual and company need to identify the relevant facts and authority for separate work.

I already paid another provider. Should I immediately buy this package? Explain the existing instruction and current stage first. Accepted verification, an unresolved check and a later code task require different responses. Coddan’s service is not a promise to access another provider’s confidential system or reverse its decision. Establish the actual work Coddan can accept before buying overlapping assistance.

Can my organiser manage everything? They can coordinate appropriate administration within their authority, but the individual must still supply accurate evidence and complete applicable personal checks. The organiser’s payment does not make them the verified person or give them unrestricted access. Useful coordination preserves that distinction while allowing the manager to address the particular document issue.

An explanation of a name change or address-history difference can therefore be relevant even if the document image is clear. This does not establish that every discrepancy can be resolved by a note, or that all additional evidence is automatically authenticated. The supported review must still determine whether the requirements are met.

Keep factual explanations and evidence within the agreed case process. General enquiry details can describe the stage and problem without exposing private credentials. This helps distinguish investigation of the supported check from an unrelated request to amend the company's public filing record or obtain access to someone else’s Personal Code.
