Clear, direct answers to the questions non-residents ask most often before purchasing a registered office address service.
A UK registered office address is the official legal address of a UK limited company or LLP, as required under Section 86 of the Companies Act 2006. It is where all statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC is sent and it appears on the public Companies House register. Every UK company should have an address from the moment of incorporation as there are no exceptions. Without it, your company cannot be registered and if it lapses then your company becomes non-compliant.
Yes, every UK company should have a registered office address in the UK, regardless of where its directors, shareholders or persons with significant control are based. As a non-resident, you cannot use your overseas home address; instead, you need a physical UK address from day one. Activate Global UK registered office address for non-residents' services fulfils this requirement entirely, with no requirement to visit the UK or provide your own UK address at any point.
A registered office address is the official address of the company itself, it receives statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC, and appears on the Companies House register under the company entry. A service address is the official address of individual directors, shareholders, and PSCs; it appears next to each person's name on the register. Both are legal requirements, and both can be the same Activate Global address. Our Privacy Bundle covers both under a single annual fee
If you live in the UK, this is technically permissible but strongly inadvisable. Your home address will appear permanently on the public Companies House register, accessible to anyone globally. This creates significant privacy risks, invites data harvesting, junk mail and unsolicited visitors and exposes your personal details indefinitely. For non-residents, using a foreign home address is not permitted at all but the registered office must be a physical address in the same UK country of incorporation.
Activate Global activates your registered office address within 24 hours of receiving your details. Companies House is notified via Form AD01 and your address is updated on the public register, typically within a few hours of filing. You will receive digital confirmation once everything is live. For new company formations, the registered office is established as a part of the incorporation process and requires no separate action on your part.
All official statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC received at your registered office is verified, date-stamped, professionally scanned, and emailed to you as a PDF — typically the same or next working day. We flag time-sensitive or urgent correspondence immediately. Physical forwarding is also available at cost.
Yes. Our registered office address is accepted by all major UK banks for business account applications, including for non-resident directors. If you are applying for a UK business bank account as a non-resident — including through our Scale package — our address will meet all bank KYC requirements.
No problem. We can update the registered office address on any existing UK company using Companies House Form AD01. Once we receive your company details, we handle the entire update process. Your new address is typically active on the Companies House register within a few hours of submission.
