What you need to know
The registered office address is the official and legal correspondence address when a company is incorporated at Companies House in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
This address will be the headquarter of the company and is where all legal documents and correspondence from government agencies will be sent.
The registered address may be changed at any time and may be used in all types of communication employed by the company including letterheads, invoices, receipts, emails, publications, order forms, cheques and websites.
This address is required for any private company limited by shares (Limited or Ltd.), public limited company (PLC) or private limited company (LLP). Even companies that sell online or trade outside the UK are required to have a registered office.
The registered office address must be a physical address in the same country as the company is registered. However, it can be in a different country to the one where the company operates and trades.
It is important that this address is accessible as it is where all government documents and correspondence will be sent.
This can be :
-Any residential or non-residential address where the company can use the registered office address
-A home address
-An account office address
-A post office box
-An address offered by an incorporating agent.
It is important to note that although you can use your home address as your registered address, this address will be visible on the Companies House website. This means that using our service for your registered address allows you to protect your personal information on the public register. In addition, once an address is registered with Companies House, in order to remove it from the register, you must make an application, the cost of which is £55. This means that if you use your home address and then wish to change it, your address will remain visible unless you apply to have it removed.
