Choose priority because the handling increment matters

When a company event is on hold until identity verification is sorted, waiting isn’t an option. RapidVerify Pro™ from Coddan CPM Ltd offers fast Companies House identity verification for CLG directors and PSCs, with priority professional handling for £65 + VAT. Whether it’s tied to a CLG formation, a director appointment or a PSC requirement, Coddan creates a dedicated verification file and targets its review and ACSP submission within one business day of receiving complete evidence. That’s a handling target built around your timeline — not a guarantee, but a genuine commitment to keeping things moving. Evidence must be complete and consistent, and priority handling doesn’t lower the identity standard. If speed isn’t a concern, IdentityGuard Pro™ is worth a look. For those overseas, a separate route applies. Clear, structured and professionally managed from start to submission.

RapidVerify Pro combines supported Companies House identity verification for one CLG director or individual PSC with priority handling of Coddan’s verification work. It suits a person whose supported case is ready to progress and for whom that handling increment has a practical purpose. It is not a purchase of a faster or more valid Personal Code from Companies House.

Perhaps a proposed director is coordinating verification with a separately instructed CLG incorporation. Perhaps an existing director has identified that verification is still outstanding before a relevant company task. Explain the event driving the request and what is already complete. The purpose is to coordinate a suitable ready case, not to substitute a paid label for missing evidence or an unfinished personal check.

If the normal supported process fits but there is no particular need for priority, IdentityGuard Pro may be sufficient. It already includes ordinary personal-manager help. You do not need RapidVerify simply because you want to ask questions, live outside the UK or hold both director and PSC roles. The additional fee should correspond to the handling you actually need.

What the qualified one-business-day target covers

That distinction helps you decide whether priority can usefully address the current need. A person who has the requested evidence and can respond promptly is in a different position from someone who cannot complete the supported check. Buying priority does not eliminate document requirements, supply an absent original or decide an unresolved identity discrepancy.

Tell your manager about the date that matters to you. Coddan can clarify the instruction’s current stage and what must be completed for the qualified target to apply. Do not assume that ordering late in a day establishes a particular cut-off arrangement or that a weekend is a working day. A Companies House response, code email or company filing is not included in the target simply because it follows Coddan’s submission.

The supported verification work remains included

Coddan creates the individual Credas case and gives the invitation and instructions for the supported process. The person supplies the requested information and evidence and completes applicable identity and liveness checks. Coddan reviews the results, identifies apparent omissions or inconsistencies and explains what needs attention before the case can move forward.

Priority applies to Coddan’s accepted verification work; it does not replace that work with an unchecked transmission. Review and clarification still matter. If the results raise a question, the useful response is to address that question through the manager and supported process. A priority purchase is not permission to overlook an unresolved requirement in order to meet an assumed deadline.

When Coddan is satisfied, it submits its ACSP verification confirmation to Companies House. Completion of the assignment occurs once verification confirmation has been received and the data submitted. Companies House issues the Personal Code to the individual through its own process. RapidVerify therefore provides a specific supported service and handling increment, rather than a promise to control every later stage.

£65 plus applicable VAT, including priority

The UK-customer fee is £65 plus £13 VAT at 20%, making £78 payable for one individual verification case. Priority handling is included in that package price. The service is a one-off verification instruction, not an annual company-administration subscription. The fee should be assessed against the stated review, assistance and qualified handling work.

For non-UK-resident customers of this ID-verification service, the approved treatment does not add UK VAT. Use the appropriate order arrangements and ask Coddan if the displayed route does not match your circumstances. A person’s nationality does not itself establish the residence treatment or justify a different handling package. Company-formation verification charges do not replace the standalone RapidVerify price.

One person who is both a director and PSC does not automatically need two checks. Several people are several individual cases; several appointments for the same already verified person are a different consideration. If an instruction is already underway, contact the manager before paying again. Do not assume that changing the requested handling means buying overlapping full services without first clarifying the accepted work and charge.

Ordinary assistance and priority are different benefits

Your personal manager helps by email and telephone with instructions, questions and order or verification progress. That assistance is part of the supported service. RapidVerify adds its qualified handling increment; it does not create the basic right to contact someone about the case. Customers choosing standard assistance still receive the ordinary help included in IdentityGuard.

Prepare the case that priority can actually progress

Before ordering, establish whether the individual has already verified successfully for Companies House. If accepted verification exists, a code or role task may remain rather than another identity check. Explain any current provider involvement so Coddan can help avoid duplicate instructions. A new company or appointment does not automatically require verification to be purchased again.

The legal standard and Credas journey remain controlling

Companies House sets the identity-verification standard. Credas supplies the supported technology, document capture and checking journey. Coddan does not create a separate software rulebook for priority customers. The evidence and checks must still establish the required identity, and Coddan retains its ACSP responsibility for the verification decision.

New CLG formation and existing-company verification

This package concerns an individual director or individual PSC of a company limited by guarantee. It can be relevant during a new formation or for an existing registered CLG. The company’s position affects how completed verification will be used, but does not create two different classes of identity or Personal Code.

From a priority order to Coddan’s submission

Start the RapidVerify order for the individual who needs the supported service and its handling increment. Coddan reviews the instruction, creates the Credas case and gives the invitation. The individual completes the requested information and applicable personal checks. Keep the order stage separate from case readiness: payment alone does not establish a complete verification file.

Coddan reviews the results and clarifies outstanding information. The one-business-day target is qualified by suitability, complete required information and checks, and the absence of further enquiries or verification issues. If a question arises, responding accurately is the next practical step. Neither an app completion screen nor the word priority removes Coddan’s professional review.

Once verification confirmation has been received and the data submitted to Companies House, Coddan’s assignment is complete. Companies House issues the Personal Code to the individual. Its processing or email delivery is external to Coddan’s handling target. A subsequent incorporation, director or PSC role connection, confirmation statement or other company filing is not automatically completed by this verification order.

An expired invitation is not another package purchase

The verification link is valid for three days. If you have not completed verification before expiry, Coddan generates a new link free of charge. Contact your manager about the existing instruction rather than starting another order just to obtain access again. A replacement invitation does not change the evidence requirements or establish that the outstanding checks have been completed.

A handling target is not a Personal Code guarantee

Companies House issues the Personal Code after the relevant verification-confirmation process. Coddan does not manufacture or allocate that official code. Credas invitation access and a Companies House Personal Code are not interchangeable. Receiving one does not mean that all later director or PSC role actions have automatically been carried out.

When to stop at standard support or consider document assistance

IdentityGuard Pro may be enough when the supported route fits and no particular priority increment is needed. Its normal manager help, results review and conditional ACSP submission remain valuable. Choosing standard assistance is not choosing a lower-quality verification result. RapidVerify is worthwhile where the qualified handling difference addresses a real circumstance.

• Who must verify
• Verification during formation
• Overseas and several-person arrangements
• Charitable-company directors
• Personal Codes and CLG roles
• Identity discrepancies and record corrections

Cooperation and authority remain identifiable

The individual provides accurate facts, the requested evidence and personal participation in the applicable checks. The organiser or intermediary may coordinate the instruction within their authority. The payer may be a different person again. These capacities should remain clear so that progress updates do not become unintended access to confidential evidence.

Order the priority service or clarify readiness

Choose RapidVerify when one individual needs supported verification and the qualified priority handling fits the circumstances. Check the £65 plus applicable VAT price and the one-person coverage. Have the individual’s cooperation and supported evidence available, and explain the date driving the request without assuming a guaranteed Companies House outcome.

If readiness or service suitability remains uncertain, ask a personal manager. Give the role, whether verification has already been completed, what remains and any app or document difficulty. Do not send identity images, passwords, Personal Codes or payment-card details with the initial enquiry. Coddan gives the appropriate instructions for the accepted case.

You can proceed directly when the scope fits; a consultation is not compulsory. You can also choose the standard package, the free official route where suitable, or no new check where accepted verification already exists. The objective is the shortest sufficient route to the necessary verification work, with priority purchased for an evidenced handling need rather than as a general reassurance label.

Practical questions before buying priority

I need the company incorporated urgently. Is RapidVerify the incorporation service? No. It concerns the individual’s supported verification and Coddan’s qualified handling. The incorporation application is a separate instruction with its own information, checks, approvals and Companies House decision. Tell the formation contact what has already been done so these instructions can be coordinated without treating an identity-verification order as company registration.

Useful progress information without exposing credentials

The initial enquiry should identify the role, present verification position and reason for the request, without including document images or confidential codes. That gives the manager context while leaving evidence to the appropriate case instructions. An organiser can describe the administrative need without sending another person’s private material unsolicited.
