Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether alternative non-digital methods of identity verification will be available for company directors following the rollout of mandatory identity verification via GOV.UK One Login from 18 November 2025.

Companies House is continuing to develop alternative options that will offer more support to individuals who are unable to verify their identities through the standard route. Further guidance will be issued but, in the meantime, Companies House is ensuring that staff are on hand to help users who require assistance via its helpline and by email.
