What Is a Registered Office Address?
Every UK limited company must have a registered office address. This is the official address held by Companies House and it appears on the public register, meaning anyone can see it. All statutory correspondence from Companies House, HMRC, and other government bodies is sent to this address.
The registered office must be a physical address in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland (matching where the company is registered). It cannot be a PO Box. Since March 2024, Companies House also requires the address to be appropriate, meaning it must be a place where documents can actually be delivered and brought to the attention of the company's officers.
