Enterprise-grade ACSP verification, on pay-as-you-go terms.
Companies House now requires verified identities for directors, PSCs and anyone filing on a company's behalf — confirmed with a selfie and photo ID. We run these checks on Trust ID's specialist platform, so you get their deep ACSP expertise without the enterprise contract. Pay only for the identities you verify.
What's changed under the new rules
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act means the identities behind UK companies must now be verified to a higher standard — with a selfie and a photo ID document. If you form companies or file on behalf of clients, you'll need to be an Authorised Corporate Service Provider and verify the people involved.
Big-firm expertise, without the big-firm commitment.
ACSP verification needs document and biometric checks done properly. So we've partnered with Trust ID — specialists who normally serve large enterprise clients — and carry out your ACSP checks on their platform. You get their depth of knowledge of the Companies House requirements, delivered through our simple pay-as-you-go service.
- Their expertise in exactly what Companies House requires.
- Our terms — no enterprise contract, no minimum volume.
- One account for KYC and ACSP, billed the same simple way.
If you file for others, this is for you.
You need verified identities whenever a real person sits behind a Companies House filing — and you need to be an ACSP to do that verification on their behalf.
