Companies House guidance on verification for corporate trustees
United Kingdom | Publication | April 2025
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, new regulatory requirements mean company directors and other individuals will need to verify their identity. These measures will affect corporate trustees.
From April 8, 2025, company directors, persons with significant control, relevant officers of a registrable relevant legal entity and members of limited liability partnerships can choose to verify their identity with Companies House. From Autumn 2025, verification is due to become mandatory for new directors. There is expected to be a 12-month transition period for existing directors and other affected persons, with their identities being required to be verified by Autumn 2026.
Guidance on the new requirements has been published by Companies House.
