The new ID verification thing has nothing to do with the address you register a company to. All that means is that the person was able to take a selfie that matched their passport photo.

Sorry, your photo is not valid as a passport photo.

Reason: not looking directly at camera.

Also: harbouring murderous thoughts.

Please try again with another photo after checking our guidelines carefully.

I got a nice official email from Companies House saying they accepted my proof of address and removed my address from the three companies registered with it.

But did they? The filing documents show no change of address so I suppose they left the documents up but removed my address from the underlying databases.
Pretty poor, though. Anyone checking the Companies House website still sees my address.

Through the letter slot has arrived a forth company with my address. Cookie cutter template, same as the other three.
Companies House really does nothing to prevent this.
I've written a bash script to search the website every day..
