A company's registered office is its official address for legal correspondence, and it's shown on the public Companies House register — so keeping it accurate matters.

1. Confirm the New Address Is Valid

The registered office needs to be an "appropriate address" capable of receiving and acknowledging documents — a PO box alone generally isn't accepted.

2. File the Change With Companies House

Address changes are generally submitted online, and take effect once processed and confirmed.

3. Update Your Own Records

Let your bank, accountant and any other relevant contacts know about the new address once it's changed.

This guide provides general information only. Requirements can change and may vary depending on your circumstances — where in doubt, it's worth confirming current requirements before proceeding.
