Annual DIN DPIN KYC
DIN KYC Compliance with Cardiff Service
At Cardiff Service, we provide complete support for DIN KYC (DIR-3 KYC) compliance, which is a mandatory requirement for all individuals holding a valid Director Identification Number (DIN). Whether the DIN is actively in use or not, every director or designated partner with an “Approved” DIN must file DIN KYC annually before 30th September to keep their status active. This compliance ensures that directors and LLP partners remain legally eligible to continue their role and avoid penalties or disqualification.
For first-time compliance, directors are required to file Form DIR-3 KYC by submitting full details, including mobile number and email, while in subsequent years, if no changes are required, a simpler DIR-3 KYC Web can be filed through OTP verification. In case of updates or changes in personal details, a fresh filing of Form DIR-3 KYC is necessary. Failing to comply leads to deactivation of the DIN and attracts penalties, which can cause unnecessary business disruptions.
With our expert team, Cardiff Service ensures end-to-end assistance in preparing, verifying, and filing DIN KYC on time. We provide timely reminders, accurate filing, and professional guidance so you never miss the compliance deadline. Our proactive approach helps directors and partners maintain good legal standing and focus on their business without worrying about regulatory hurdles.
Legal Framework
Governed by Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, alterations to MoA and AoA require shareholders’ approval and subsequent filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
MoA Alteration – Requires a special resolution in a general meeting. Post-approval, Form MGT-14 must be filed with the RoC within 30 days.
AoA Alteration – Similarly requires a special resolution in a general meeting. Amended AoA must be filed with the RoC within 30 days.
Approval by RoC – Once the RoC is satisfied that the alterations comply with the Companies Act and applicable rules, the changes are formally approved.
Effectiveness – Alterations become effective only after RoC approval. Until then, the existing MoA and AoA remain valid.

Frequently Asked Questions
A company name search ensures that your chosen business name is unique, legally compliant, and not already registered with Companies House UK. It helps you avoid legal disputes, trademark issues, and confusion in the Cardiff business market.
If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to choose a different name or modify it. Using a taken name could result in rejection by Companies House or potential legal issues. Our experts can help you brainstorm alternative names that are compliant and market-ready.
It’s not advisable to use a name that’s too similar to another company, especially within the same industry. Similar names can confuse customers and risk trademark disputes. A company name search helps you identify these risks early.
For a company name search in Cardiff, you may need:
Proposed company name
Business entity type (Ltd, LLP, Partnership, etc.)
Jurisdiction (Cardiff / UK)
Owner or shareholder details (if applicable)
Business description
A “high probability” result means your proposed company name is likely to be available, but further checks are recommended. This is why our detailed Cardiff Company Name Search Report includes both identical and similar names for clarity.
Certain words are restricted under UK law (e.g., “bank,” “insurance,” “government”). If you want to use them, you’ll need special approval from regulatory bodies. We guide you through this process if your Cardiff business requires such terms
