The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) is a landmark UK law enacted in 2023 to enhance corporate transparency and combat economic crime. It strengthens regulations to ensure that companies are not used for illicit purposes, chiefly by introducing stricter identity verification and reporting requirements. In essence, ECCTA mandates that key individuals associated with UK companies prove they are who they claim to be. This includes a new mandatory identity verification system for people involved in running or controlling companies. Specifically, all company directors and persons with significant control (PSCs) – both new and existing – are now required to verify their identities with the companies registry. Even individuals who file documents on a company’s behalf must be verified, unless they’re registered agents under the Act.
