To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of issues with the identity verification process with Companies House, particularly the impact on charities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of issues with the identity verification process with Companies House, particularly the impact on charities.
The identity verification requirements introduced under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 apply only to charities that are incorporated as companies limited by guarantee. In these circumstances, trustees are required to verify their identity as company directors.
Companies House provides support to assist individuals in completing the identity verification process, including trustees of charitable companies, and monitor user insight to inform continuous improvement of their guidance and services.
Trustees of Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) are not required to verify their identity for Companies House purposes, as CIOs are not incorporated or registered under the Companies Act framework.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether he is taking steps to streamline the identity verification process with Companies House.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether he is taking steps to streamline the identity verification process with Companies House.
Companies House designed its identity verification process to enable individuals to meet the requirements of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 while minimising burdens on business wherever possible.
Identity verification is generally a one-off process, as the unique personal code received can be reused to confirm the verified status across multiple roles and appointments.
Companies House has continued to improve its digital services and customer guidance in response to user feedback and insight. It is working closely with GOV.UK One Login, which is exploring new ways for individuals to prove their identity using a wider range of evidence.

Establishing wider access to beneficial ownership data including to those with a legitimate interest - is a step forward towards enabling greater scrutiny of illicit finance. The UK welcomed Turks and Caicos Island's (TCI) Legitimate Interest Access (LIA) Register of Beneficial Ownership when it launched in 2025. But we are clear that there is more work to be done. We are working with TCI and other Overseas Territories (OTs) to ensure those with LIA registers provide the maximum possible degree of access and transparency, whilst protecting the right to privacy in line with each OT's respective constitutions. Fee rates are part of this discussion. The UK's expectation remains for the OTs and Crown Dependencies to establish fully public registers of beneficial ownership.
The UK is committed to expanding economic cooperation with the OTs. Sustainable economic prosperity is important to the whole UK family. The FCDO co-convened an OT Trade and Investment Study Visit in March 2026 bringing together senior representatives from across the OTs - including from TCI - to strengthen awareness of UK capabilities, and give our support to commercial partnerships and economic development opportunities. The UK Government remains available to provide advice and technical support where requested.
We regularly raise our expectations on publicly accessible and legitimate interest access registers of beneficial ownership with OTs and Crown Dependencies, and I most recently discussed this with the Premier of the TCI on 10 August.
