This marks the first time a major Western nation has mandated digital identity verification at this scale - 7 million individuals - for business operations. The use of iProov's biometric technology through GOV.UK One Login creates an unprecedented fusion of government authority, commerce, and digital identity infrastructure. The 12-month compliance window establishes a clear timeline for normalizing mandatory digital ID in business.

📰 What Happened
Companies House, the UK's company registry, will require mandatory identity verification for all company directors starting November 18, 2025. The system, using GOV.UK One Login powered by iProov technology, will affect 6-7 million individuals by mid-November 2026. CEO Louise Smyth reports 300,000 have already verified voluntarily since April. The initiative is part of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, aimed at preventing misuse of the companies register through biometric verification.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of three elements accelerates multiple prophecies: 1) The scale of 7 million mandatory verifications creates infrastructure for economic control, 2) The fusion of government (Companies House), commerce (business registry), and technology (iProov biometrics) establishes the framework for centralized economic oversight, and 3) The integration with GOV.UK One Login demonstrates how digital identity becomes the gateway to economic participation. This mirrors Revelation's warning about economic exclusion while simultaneously fulfilling Daniel's prophecy about increased knowledge and control systems in the last days.
