UK Registered Office Address
Every UK company must show an official UK address on the public register — this is its registered office. Use our address instead of your own, keep your home address off the public record, and let us handle your official mail.
- Meets Companies House rules
- Keeps your home address private
- Non-UK residents welcome
- Official mail handled for you
Why it matters
Why you need a registered office address
The registered office is the official address Companies House and HMRC use to contact your company. It appears on the public register, so the address you choose is a decision worth making carefully.
Keep your home private
Without this, your home address is published on the Companies House register for anyone to search. Ours replaces it.
Built for overseas founders
No UK residency is required to form a company, but a UK address is. This gives non-UK residents the address they need.
Government mail handled
We receive your official post from HMRC and Companies House, and let you know the moment something arrives.
A credible business address
A professional UK address on your letterhead and website looks more established than a home or PO box.
Active the same day
Buy it and the address is ready to use on your incorporation or your next Companies House filing straight away.
A genuine UK business address

What a registered office is — and what it is not
A registered office is the official address for your company on the Companies House register. It is where official mail is legally delivered: annual reminders, penalty notices, court documents and letters from HMRC and Companies House.
It does not have to be where you trade or work. Many companies — especially those run by overseas founders or from home — use a professional registered office to stay compliant and keep their private address off the public record.
- Satisfies the legal duty to maintain a registered office in the UK
- Displayed publicly, so it should be an address you are happy to publish
- Separate from your trading address, which can stay private

FAQ
Registered office address questions
Do I legally need a registered office address?
Yes. Every company registered at Companies House must maintain a registered office address in its country of incorporation (England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland) for as long as the company exists.
It is where official mail is legally served, so it must be a real address that can receive post — not a PO box on its own.
Can I use this address if I live outside the UK?
Yes. There is no UK residency requirement to be a director or shareholder of a UK company, but you must have a UK registered office address. This service is designed for exactly that — overseas founders who need a compliant UK address.
Will my home address be hidden from the public register?
Using our address as your registered office keeps your home address off that part of the public record. If you also want to protect your home address as a director's correspondence address, add the Director's Service Address service.
What happens to letters sent to the address?
Official government mail is received and handled by our team, and you are notified instantly. Add Government Mail Scan & Email to have each item scanned to your inbox, or Business Mail Forwarding to have post sent on to you.
How is it billed?
The registered office is billed quarterly at a fixed price. You always see the renewal price before it renews, and you can cancel at any time.
Can I change my registered office to yours after I have already formed my company?
Yes. You can add the registered office from your dashboard for an existing company, and we update the address at Companies House for you.
