New: UK Companies House Officers Search – Director Lookup – look up UK directors, secretaries & LLP members by name, company or number

What it does

This actor searches the UK Companies House register for officers - directors, company secretaries and LLP members - by company name, by company number, or by officer surname. The UK runs the most open, machine-readable corporate registry in the G7, and this turns it into clean structured records.

Who it's for

KYC / KYB / AML / EDD teams at UK banks and money-service businesses, auditors doing client onboarding, M&A; diligence teams, and investigative journalists - a free alternative to Veriff / Onfido / BvD lookups.

Sample fields / output

  • officer_name & role (director / secretary / LLP member)
  • partial date of birth (month + year - day suppressed since 2018)
  • nationality, occupation, country of residence
  • appointed_on / resigned_on dates
  • company_name + 8-char Companies House number
  • service address on file

Example use cases

  • Verify directors during KYB and client-onboarding pipelines.
  • Map director networks across multiple UK companies for diligence or investigations.
  • Screen counterparties and beneficial-owner links in M&A; and AML work.

FAQ

Is the data official?

Yes. It comes straight from the UK Companies House public register at api.company-information.service.gov.uk - the canonical UK corporate filing source.

Can I search by a person instead of a company?

Yes. You can query by officer surname, by company name, or by company number.

Why is the date of birth partial?

Companies House has suppressed the day component on the public register since 2018; you get month and year, with residential addresses permanently withheld.
