To meet the latest UK Companies House identity verification requirements, you need to verify that your passport is genuine. This only takes a minute using Firmcheck's secure mobile app — by scanning the chip inside your passport with your phone.
Note: You may have already shown your passport previously.
This final step simply confirms that the document itself is real and untampered.
Start from your email
You’ll receive a verification link via email from the organisation you're working with. Clicking the link will open this app to begin the process.
Use your phone’s NFC to scan your passport
Simply place your passport behind your phone and hold it steady. The app will read the passport’s RFID chip using your phone’s built-in NFC reader to extract encrypted identity data.
Submit for verification
Once scanned, your passport data is securely submitted to verify its authenticity.
The UK government has introduced new requirements for identity verification of:
Company directors
People with Significant Control (PSCs)
Certain beneficial owners
Your passport chip contains secure data that confirms the document's authenticity. Scanning the chip helps us meet compliance standards and protects your identity.

If you have questions or need assistance: please contact the organisation that sent you the verification request.
