Change Companies House ID process: immediate, one-time ID verification

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/755202

Please do boost...

Petition
Change Companies House ID
process: immediate, one-time ID
verification
Companies House needs a verified ID for directors and persons with
significant control (PSC). They create a 14 day window for this. Allow ID
verification now and forever. No random delay for a 14 day window. No
need to re-verify later.
ID does not change over time. Please require them to allow ID verification
once and then never again if no changes. Allow ID verification as soon as
possible, and never any re-verification later. At present, someone can find,
with no letter or notice, they have to verify ID within a specific 14 day
window and not before, or later, and even face penalty and prosecution if
too late.

Apparently I need to explain more.

1. You have to prove your ID as director, or person with significant control, for any UK company.
2. They have an app, or visit a post office, etc, as a means to do this.
3. The stupid bit is you then have to do this within a very specific 14 day window.
4. This is different for director and PSC.

What you cannot do is simply verify ID now, and tell companies house, and it is done.

You cannot verify before the 14 day window in question.

@revk it is bloody stupid. I've verified. The missus (who is a director of my company) hasn't been asked yet. No way of getting it out of the way, we just have to hope the requirement actually routes to her at a sensible time when she can react to it.
