What is a Registered Office?
A registered office is the registered address of a limited company. It must be a physical location in the United Kingdom at which official papers (such as mail from Companies House and HMRC) and court documents can be served. The registered office address need not be the company’s place of business and is often the address of the persons providing company services, such as Company Formation MadeSimple. The address is on the public register, available to everyone.
Can this service be used for company officers' (directors and secretaries) or shareholders' addresses?
No, these are not covered. If you are a company director, secretary or shareholder and wish to keep your residential address private, please see our service address service.
Who needs to provide Proof of ID and Proof of Address documentation to activate the Registered Office Service?
The account holder and all company officers, including directors and people with significant control must provide Proof of ID and Address documentation. This is to ensure that we comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and ‘Know Your Customer’ requirements. We are unable to offer our company registered office and/or service address service until this information is provided. Here’s how to quickly, simply and securely provide the necessary Proof of ID and Proof of Address documentation.

The renewal cost is £49.99 plus VAT per year. You may benefit from our Privacy Package Renewal which includes the renewal of both the Registered Office service for 1 year and renewal of the Service Address for 1 year, for just £59.99 plus VAT. More information on all renewal fees.
What is official government mail?
