LLP Identity Verification Form

Proposed reforms of Companies House mean that new identity verification requirements are being introduced for, amongst others, all new and existing LLP members. Members who do not verify their identity will commit a criminal offence and/or incur a civil penalty. LLPs that have unverified members will also commit an offence. Verification will be via photographic ID.

What this form is for

In light of these proposed changes, an LLP may wish to build identity checks for all members (existing and new) into its internal processes, and to support the identity verification requirements of Companies House.

What members must provide

This template form is intended to be returned to the LLP by each new and existing member, with the relevant photographic ID attached.

UK GDPR note for handling ID documents

All information received should be held and processed in compliance with UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). The LLP will need to identify a lawful basis for processing personal data and ensure that this can be justified. Complying with a legal obligation will fulfil this.
