Changes for Companies House address rules
Newsletter issue – February 2025
Changes have taken effect regarding Companies House rules on the public register.
As of 27 January, you can apply to hide your residential address from the public register if it's been used as your company's registered office address.
'If your residential address is the company's current registered office address, you'll need to change your registered office address before applying,' Companies House explained on its website. Individuals can apply under section 1088 of the rules.
There is a new form for those wishing to make use of the change. Officially labelled as 'suppressing your residential address', it costs £30 for each document. Search for the SR01 form online to access and download a copy.
