It seems to be taking longer than usual at the moment - at least here in the UK. I submitted a company application on 23rd March and it's still being verified as of today. I've called them twice. They were extremely pleasant and helpful on the phone but the only help they could offer was to confirm that the application was on their system, that it was being processed and that it usually takes 'about three weeks' so I should expect something to happen 'any time now' The first time I called, the girl gave the impression that they used an external contractor to do the verification and exactly how long it takes was partly down to them.
It's doubly frustrating as, here in the UK, you can verify that a company name is genuine in about ten seconds thanks to the Companies House website (which lets you lookup the basic details of any limited company in the UK for free) I can only guess that they're experiencing a rush of applications at the moment following the 3.0 announcement.
