Guidance for Companies House authorised agents
Your firm remains accountable for its identity verification decisions when using a commercial checking platform.
Check the current requirements
Registration, eligibility and filing obligations are described in the official guidance for authorised corporate service providers. Check the current guidance for the work your firm intends to perform.
Use the platform as part of your process
Keep your ACSP and AML supervisory details up to date, collect the client’s information, review the evidence and document the final determination. Complete any checks the provider does not cover. The platform does not register your firm or submit a statement to Companies House automatically.
Consult the official identity verification standard and your professional adviser or supervisory body when establishing your procedure.
