The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act introduced mandatory identity verification for directors and persons with significant control (PSC) of UK companies. While the process is relatively straightforward in theory, IT and logistics issues often lead to outside help being required. This is particularly problematic for company secretarial teams, executive assistants, and family offices that are trying to achieve compliance for senior executives or wealthy individuals with extremely tight schedules. Vanner Perez Notaries LLP understands the associated challenges and offers a third-party verification service that is specifically tailored towards such individuals.
Efficient Remote Verification Options
We offer three ways of verifying the identity of individuals for Companies House, via our bespoke app, via a brief video call, or via an in-person meeting at a location of your choosing. For each option, the process can be managed almost entirely by the client’s support staff. The individual to be verified does not need to actively take part in the process for more than a couple of minutes at most.
Refined Process
Vanner Perez has been acting as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) for Companies House identity verification since long before the requirement has come into force, and has already successfully completed hundreds of identity verifications. We have identified all the potential pitfalls and proactively manage the process, making it as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
Highest Standards of Privacy and Data Protection
Our firm is keenly aware of the sensitivity of the personal information required for identity verification. We accept and encourage redactions wherever possible, and only store personal data insofar as it is a legal requirement.
Our IT team actively ensures that our data storage system adheres to highest standards of safety.
Dedicated Support
Upon enquiring, every client is assigned a member of support staff as well as a qualified notary. We are highly responsive and always strive to resolve queries as quickly as possible. On average, we take less than one working day to complete verifications upon receipt of the required information.
For more information on how we can help with Companies House identity verification, please refer to our website. We also offer a fast-track service, in case you require the process to be completed immediately.
