Companies House Personal Code: Name Verification Toggle

  • Updated

Overview

With the UK changes effective 18th November 2025, CAS 360 now provides a way to record whether an individual’s name matches the verified Companies House name.

Name Match Toggle

  • Question: Does the name match the verified Companies House Name?

  • Default: Yes

If the toggle is set to No, a dropdown appears to select one reason for the mismatch. The options are:

  1. Legally changed name

  2. Preferred name

  3. Translation or a different naming convention

  4. Prefer not to say

  5. Error on the public register

Note: Only one reason can be selected at a time.
