Building an identity verification case
An automated approval is supporting evidence. The authorised agent must complete and evidence the full Companies House process.
Choose the checking route
The technology route depends on the document and evidence of the required security-feature validation. A manual route requires a trained examiner and an eligible two-document combination. A passport, licence or selfie does not automatically establish a complete case.
Record the decision separately
ACSPverify separates automated results, the firm’s ACSP determination and the record of a Companies House submission. Keep the documents, identity history, review reasoning and any unsuccessful attempts together.
The official Companies House identity verification standard defines the complete steps and document lists. Read it before choosing your process. The applicable retention rule is in regulation 15.
