Trustee Legal vs Professional Name Use
Hollie Felton
Leadership & Governance
I've just received an email from Companies House, that begins:All company directors and people with significant control (PSCs) need to verify their identity to prove who they are. This is a new legal requirement under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 to help prevent people using companies for illegal purposes.
Relevant info at Gov UK.
As a Chair of a small charity, and Trustee of another, I feel this is going to be a major headache for small charities with volunteer Trustees.
I've begun exploring the process, and because their app won't run on my phone, I'll have to travel to verify my identity in person at a town Post Office.
Do let me know if you've encountered any guidance to make the process easier!
