We have found 481 officer appointments whose verification date, `identity_verified_on`, is before the official date, i.e. 2025-04-01. This is data collected the data from the streaming api, officers and psc endpoints specifically.

Here’s are some extreme yet real examples:  
[Ceris Mary GARDNER personal appointments - Find and update company information - GOV.UK](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/OTV3IZA0RXsp051rDWszJLr8XAc/appointments) =\> verified on 13 September 1953.

[Karon Rosemary JEFFERSON personal appointments - Find and update company information - GOV.UK](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/dN53ATOTtGKcMC706ECejCBUAzc/appointments) =\> verified on 19 November 1954.

These don’t make sense to us: it seems that some basic validation is missing. Are they going to get corrected?

The same happens for PSCs: we see 61 occurrences of it as of today.
