How do I request my Personal Verification Code (PVC)?

If you are forming a company with us and have never verified your identity before:

You do not need to request your Personal Verification Code (PVC), we will do this on your behalf after you complete your ID checks with us. Each officer and Person with Significant Control (PSC) will then receive an email from Companies House containing their PVC, a few hours after our ID checks are complete.

The email containing your PVC should be from ‘noreply@companieshouse.gov.uk’ with the subject line 'Your identity has been verified for Companies House'.

 

If you have verified your identity previously with Gov One Login:

  1. Sign in to your Companies House account using the same email address you used for verification.
  2. Navigate to the 'Manage account' section to view your code.
