Who needs director ID
information keeps changing.
Before we were told that anyone who is and WAS a director in their life time needs to apply (order ref 101 1066, call ref# 105 205 913 663 9)
But then the day after they release a draft rule (not yet law) allowing former and resigned directors to be exempt from applying for director ID
We say its best to get it done
