Here's a photo of broccoli. Well, just because. On a more serious note: Jackson Lee Accountants, based in Bury, Greater Manchester, are flagging that Companies House identity verification is now a legal requirement for every company director and PSC, and the deadline isn't one fixed date for everyone — it's tied to your own company's confirmation statement. Worth checking yours well before the mid-November crunch. Full details on our blog.

Identity verification for directors and PSCs became law in November 2025, but there's no single deadline for everyone — yours is tied to your company's own confirmation statement. Here's what to check now.
