Companies House ID Verification: The £2.10 Professional Solution

You can streamline identity verification of your clients using FigsFlow, the UK’s most affordable, automated identity verification platform for accountants, bookkeepers and tax advisers.

Why FigsFlow is the Top Choice to Carry Out Identity Verification

From 18 November 2025, identity verification is a mandatory legal requirement under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA). While GOV.UK offers a free route for individuals, FigsFlow provides an organised and systematic platform that all but eliminates errors.

Unbeatable Pricing

At just £2.10 per check, we are the UK's most cost-effective provider for bulk professional verifications.

Automated Workflow

We handle the end-to-end process using IDVT (Identity Document Validation Technology) to validate cryptographic features of biometric passports. This is a legal requirement for ACSPs.

11-Character Personal Code Management

Your clients receive their unique 11-character Companies House personal code. FigsFlow stores these centrally for your annual Confirmation Statement filings.

Mandatory 7-Year Record Keeping

Under the 2025 regulations, ACSPs must retain verification evidence for 7 years. FigsFlow automates this storage, ensuring your practice remains audit-ready.
