You didn't become an accountant to do this

  • Chasing passport scans

    That prove nothing about who sent them.

  • Paying before you start

    A monthly platform fee, whether you check anyone or not.

  • The monitoring visit

    Evidence in six places, none of it dated.

  • The same director, three times

    Once for every company they sit behind.

So we built the simplest thing that works: one link, one price, one record.

Three steps. No app for your client to download.

  1. Step 1

    You send the check

    Name, email, send. WhatsApp if that's how you reach them.

  2. Step 2

    Your client verifies

    Phone, ID photo, selfie. Nothing to download.

  3. Step 3

    You file the record

    Read the result. Download the PDF. Done.

One check covers everything

  • ID and selfie

    Passport, driving licence or ID card, checked for forgery and matched to a live selfie.

  • Home address

    Verified, not just typed in. HMRC AMLG11400

  • Sanctions and PEPs

    The UK Sanctions List, international lists and PEP lists, on the day you take them on. Regulation 35

  • Record and ongoing screening

    A PDF for the file, and 12 months of screening that tells you the day a name appears. Regulation 28(11)

  • Risk assessments

    Client and firm wide, both as PDFs for your supervisor. Regulation 28(12) and 18

  • Purpose of the work

    What you do for them and whether it's ongoing, recorded with the check. Regulation 28(2)(c)

One client£4.99

No platform fee, no monthly minimum, no contract.

Prices exclude VAT, checked September 2026 against published price lists. Providers that lead with a document and biometric check charge £10 to £15. Don't take our word for it: add up every line on your own invoice. Part of why we cost less is that our provider is not yet on the government's register of digital verification services: see the questions below.

Company clients, without the paperwork

The people behind a company client have to be verified too. We find them. You press send. Regulation 28(4)

  1. Step 1

    Type the company number

    Name, office and incorporation date, straight from Companies House. Free.

  2. Step 2

    See every director and owner

    Directors and PSCs, with their other appointments, so you know who you're dealing with.

  3. Step 3

    Check them in one press

    Each gets their own link. One record once they all pass.

When your supervisor asks, you have it

  • Identify and verify before you act, and keep the evidence for five years. Regulation 27 and 40
  • A photocopied passport proves nothing. Not that it's them, not that you checked the list that day.
  • A TrueFortis record does. Dated, with the screening result, ready to download.

The rules in plain English

Useful whoever supervises you

  • ICAS
  • ICB
  • IAB
  • AIA

Every result tells you what to do next

TrueFortis uses three colours. You'll see the same ones next to each client.

Verified

Everything checked out

Download the record, keep it on the file, carry on.

In review

Something needs your judgement

Usually a PEP or a possible match. Read it, decide what's proportionate, record your decision.

Not verified

The check did not pass

Don't act for them yet. Read why, and speak to your MLRO.

What TrueFortis doesn't do

  • It doesn't replace your judgement. TrueFortis gives you the evidence and the record; you decide whether to take the client on.

  • It doesn't check trusts or charities yet. It checks individuals and companies.

  • It isn't Companies House identity verification. Directors use GOV.UK One Login or an Authorised Corporate Service Provider.

  • It doesn't make suspicious activity reports. Those go to the National Crime Agency through your MLRO.

Questions

What does my client need?

A smartphone with a camera, and their passport, photocard driving licence or national identity card. Passports and ID cards from most countries are accepted.

What if my client doesn't finish?

The link expires after a while. Open their name in TrueFortis and press Send a new link. A send is used when the link goes out rather than when your client finishes, so a new link uses another one.

Is TrueFortis a certified digital identity service?

Not yet. Our current verification provider, Didit, holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification but is not on the UK government's register of digital verification services. HMRC's guidance, published in July 2026, says a provider not on that register "cannot reliably be deemed suitable" for identity verification under the Regulations. Until TrueFortis uses a registered provider, don't rely on it as your only evidence of identity.

Can I check a company client?

Yes. Type the company number and we take the company's details, its directors and its persons with significant control from Companies House. Adding the company is free; you send each of those people their own check. The company shows as verified once they all are.

Where is my clients' data kept?

Documents and selfies are processed by Didit in the European Union. Reports are stored in London. See our privacy notice.

Who is responsible for the check?

You are. TrueFortis gives you the tool and the record. Your firm stays responsible for its customer due diligence and for deciding whether to act.

Where can I read what the rules actually say?

Our guides summarise the Money Laundering Regulations, HMRC and CCAB guidance in plain English, with links to every source.
