Fast, Secure & HMRC-Compliant Verification by AM Accountex Ltd
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, all company directors, persons with significant control (PSCs), and individuals who file documents with Companies House must verify their identity. This new rule is designed to make the UK’s company register more transparent and secure — helping prevent fraud and misuse of company information.
At AMAccountex Ltd, based at 95 Mortimer Street, W1W 7GB, London, we make the process simple and stress-free. Whether you’re a UK resident or based overseas, our authorised verification service ensures your identity is confirmed quickly and accurately so you can meet your legal requirements.
