Change Companies House ID process: immediate, one-time ID verification
Companies House needs a verified ID for directors and persons with significant control (PSC). They create a 14 day window for this. Allow ID verification now and forever. No random delay for a 14 day window. No need to re-verify later.
ID does not change over time. Please require them to allow ID verification once and then never again if no changes. Allow ID verification as soon as possible, and never any re-verification later. At present, someone can find, with no letter or notice, they have to verify ID within a specific 14 day window and not before, or later, and even face penalty and prosecution if too late.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
