The Institute has today published a webpage on
Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 - Changes in Companies House.
The aim of this webpage is to inform members of the recent Companies House identity verification changes and how to register as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. These identity verification requirements came into effect on a voluntary basis on 8 April 2025 and will be mandatory for all company directors and People with Significant Control from Autumn 2025.
It also sets out other changes to be introduced by Companies House at a later date and reminds members of the changes from phase 1 last year.
