Part 1: Companies House Reform Identity verification Section 69: Identity verification: material unavailable for public inspection
This section amends section 1087 of the Companies Act 2006 ‘Material unavailable for public inspection’, by inserting new section 1087(1)(gd). The amendment extends the list of materials unavailable for public inspection to any statements delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and forming part of the register of companies, under the provisions listed. This is to ensure that detailed information contained in certain statements relating to identity verification remains private between the individual submitting them and the Registrar of Companies. Crucially, this includes statements informing the Registrar of Companies that an individual falls into an identity verification exemption as specified in regulations. This provision helps to protect personal and sensitive information.
