Companies House must verify the identity of anyone submitting information to the public register, including those acting on behalf of a company. This aims to further enhance the accuracy and transparency of information provided to Companies House.
Going forward, an ACSP will need to register as such before it can submit information and conduct verification checks on behalf of its clients. This will include company formation agents, accountants, solicitors, chartered secretaries and governance professionals. To become an ACSP, agents must be supervised by a UK Anti-Money Laundering (AML) supervisory body.
Companies House is hosting a webinar on 2 April 2025 which will share helpful information on registering as an ACSP. You can register to attend this webinar here.
