# Guide to ACSP Identity Verification

## For Authorised Corporate Service Providers navigating Companies House identity verification requirements under ECCTA

## ACSP Guide

Since 2025, Companies House has introduced new identity verification requirements under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA). Previously, verification was less formal, but the updated guidance now requires Authorised Corporate Service Providers (ACSPs) to confirm the identities of key individuals using certified digital ID verification technology.

As a certified DVS for Companies House identity verification, we have created this guide to ACSP requirements along with an FAQ document, outlining 6 key questions for ACSPs to consider.

**Key takeaways:**

- The importance of verifying identity for ACSP compliance
- How digital identity verification works under Companies House standards
- The benefits of using digital ID verification for directors, PSCs, and filing agents
- Answers to frequently asked questions about ACSP identity verification
