1. Overview
The ECCTA Compliance Order Form is a structured data collection form within Vistra Digital that enables clients to provide the identity verification details required under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
To improve transparency and build confidence in UK companies, the ECCTA requires all directors, LLP members, Persons with Significant Control (PSC) and individuals who file on behalf of companies to have their identity verified and registered with Companies House, securing a personal code for that individual.
This form streamlines this process by guiding users through a step-by-step form to capture the necessary information for each individual requiring verification — replacing fragmented email exchanges and manual data gathering with a single, structured workflow.
🚀 Key Takeaway: Simplify ECCTA identity verification data collection with a guided, structured form — ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely compliance before the November 2026 deadline.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ What is a Companies House personal code?
Once identity verification is complete, Companies House issues a unique personal code to the individual. This code is personal to the individual — not their role or the company — and is used when filing or taking on new roles.
❓ What is the deadline for ECCTA identity verification?
The transition period for director and PSC identity verification closes in November 2026. Non-compliance may result in unlimited fines, filing restrictions, and director disqualification.
❓ What happens after I submit the form?
Vistra team will process the submitted information and guide you through the next steps of the identity verification process.
