Know if a director is who they say they are.
ProbeDigital's Company Director Verification tool checks the mandatory Companies House ID verification status of any UK director in seconds — so you can confirm compliance, spot risk, and move on with the deal, the hire, or the deadline.
"Trust me" isn't a compliance strategy anymore
ECCTA 2023 makes director identity verification a legal requirement — not a courtesy. Yet most teams have no fast way to confirm whether a director has actually completed it.
Unverified directors go unnoticed
An unverified director isn't flagged anywhere in your normal workflow — it only surfaces when Companies House rejects a filing, or worse, during an investigation.
Manual checks don't scale
Cross-referencing Companies House filings director-by-director is slow, error-prone, and impossible to repeat across a full portfolio or client list.
No audit trail when it matters
When a regulator, lender or investor asks "how do you know?", a screenshot isn't good enough. You need a dated, exportable compliance record.
Three steps from name to verified answer
Built directly on Companies House ID verification data — no scraping, no guesswork.

The ECCTA 2023 window is closing
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 introduced mandatory identity verification for around 7 million UK directors and PSCs. From November 2026, non-compliance carries penalties of up to £10,000 per company.
An unverified director is now a material compliance and deal risk — affecting deal structuring, warranties, and post-close regulatory standing. ProbeDigital surfaces verification status instantly, before the risk lands on you.

Director verification, answered
The most common questions we get about ECCTA 2023 and checking director ID status.
What is company director verification under ECCTA 2023?
Director verification under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 is a legal requirement for UK company directors to confirm their identity with Companies House. It applies to around 7 million existing and new directors, with full enforcement beginning November 2026.
How do I check if a company director is ID verified?
Search by the director's name or a company number in ProbeDigital's Company Director Verification tool. It returns a clear Verified, Pending, or Unverified status sourced directly from Companies House, along with the verification date.
Is ProbeDigital's director verification tool free to use?
Yes. Free director verification checks with no credit card required. Bulk CSV screening, monitoring alerts, and exportable audit reports are available on paid plans.
What happens if a director is not ECCTA verified?
From November 2026, companies with unverified directors risk penalties of up to £10,000 per company and may have filings rejected by Companies House. Before then, an unverified director is a compliance and deal risk worth flagging in due diligence.
Can I check director verification status in bulk?
Yes. Upload a CSV of companies or directors to screen an entire portfolio, client bank, or acquisition pipeline in one pass, and receive a consolidated compliance report.
Where does ProbeDigital's director verification data come from?
Directly from UK Companies House identity verification records, so results reflect the same source data regulators and Companies House itself rely on.
