Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations impose a new duty on the registrar to annotate the register maintained under section 1080 of the Companies Act 2006 (c.46) (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/2006/46\") (“the 2006 Act”) in the circumstances where an individual has verified their identification status, as well as applying annotation duties and powers to unregistered companies. These Regulations also make amendments to various pieces of secondary legislation, which are consequential on the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (c. 56) (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/2023/56\") (“the 2023 Act”).

Regulation 2 requires the registrar to annotate the companies register where a person’s identity has been verified in accordance with the Registrar (Identity Verification and Authorised Corporate Service Providers) Regulations 2025 (S.I. 2025/50 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2025/50\")).

Regulation 3 applies the annotation duty contained in regulation 2 to the register of limited liability partnerships.

Regulation 4 makes minor amendments to the Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/1804 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2009/1804\")) to remove the requirements for members who are individuals to provide their nationality and for corporate members to provide a service address, as requirements to provide that information are to be implemented by Companies House at a later date. Regulation 4 also substitutes section 1082 of the 2006 Act (allocation of unique identifiers) as applied to limited liability partnerships (“LLPs”) and makes a minor amendment to the Registered Office Address (Rectification of Register) Regulations (S.I. 2024/233 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2024/233\")) as applied to LLPs, which is consequential on the repeal by the 2023 Act of requirements on companies to maintain certain local registers.

Regulation 5 amends the Unregistered Companies Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2436 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2009/2436\")) to remove the requirement for corporate directors, secretaries and registrable relevant legal entities to provide a service address, as requirements to provide that information are to be implemented by Companies House at a later date. Provision is made for the registrar to annotate the register in relation to unregistered companies where an individual has had their identity status verified. The registrars’ powers under section 1081 of the 2006 Act are extended to also apply to unregistered companies. The registrar is also empowered to annotate in respect of unregistered companies where (a) it appears to the registrar that material on the register is misleading or confusing; (b) it is apparent that a person who appears in the register as a director is subject to director disqualification sanctions within the meaning of section 11A(4) of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (c.46) (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/1986/46\") (designated persons under sanctions legislation); and (c) a person has not fully complied with the requirements of a notice given under section 1092A of the 2006 Act (power to require information).

Regulation 6 makes a minor amendment to the Companies (Companies Authorised to Register) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2437 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2009/2437\")) to correct a cross reference to another instrument.

Regulation 7 makes minor amendments to the Registered Office Address (Rectification of Register) Regulations 2024, which are consequential on the repeal by the 2023 Act of requirements on companies to maintain certain local registers.

Regulation 8 amends the Companies Authorised to Register, Unregistered Companies and Overseas Companies (Application of Company Law) Regulations 2025 (S.I. 2025/761 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2025/761\")) (“the 2025 Regulations”) to make a minor correction to provisions relating to overseas companies. Regulation 7 also substitutes the transitional provision in the 2025 Regulations relating to identity verification of existing directors of unregistered companies.

Regulation 9 amends the Limited Liability Partnerships (Application and Modification of Company Law) Regulations 2025 (S.I. 2025/1033 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2025/1033\")) to substitute the transitional provision relating to identity verification of existing members of LLPs.

A full impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen. An impact assessment for identity verification requirements more generally was produced for the Registrar (Identity Verification and Authorised Corporate Service Providers) Regulations 2025 (S.I. 2025/50 (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2025/50\")) and the 2023 Act, copies of which are published on www.legislation.gov.uk (\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk\").
