What is a Company Registered Address?
The formal address of a limited company that is listed with Companies House is called a company registered address, or registered office address. It is a legal requirement for all UK limited companies to have at the time of incorporation.
Why Having A Registered Address Is Important
All limited companies in the UK are required to keep their registered office address up to date. Important correspondence from HMRC and Companies House is sent to this formal address, which is listed on Companies House.
According to Companies House, the address you register must be:
- a physical address in the UK
- in the same country your company is registered in, for example a company registered in Scotland must have a registered office address in Scotland
A lot of company directors often prefer to not have their home address listed on the Companies House website. By using a registered office address service, you can keep your company compliant while also protecting your privacy.
Our registered address package offers:
- An official registered office address in Central London
- Forwarding mail for official correspondence
- Extra privacy safeguards for directors of companies
For home-based companies, independent contractors, freelancers, and small business owners who wish to keep their personal and business addresses separate, using a registered office service is especially helpful.

How Do I Renew My Company's Registered Address Through Easy Digital?
It's crucial to renew your registered address package with Easy Digital if it's about to expire to avoid any disruptions to your service or business compliance to Companies House regulations.
In order to renew your registered address package, you will first need to log into your Easy Digital account. Once logged in, you should be able to view your current package details and select the option 'Add Service'.

In order to guarantee that your business stays compliant and continues to receive communication from HMRC and Companies House without interruption, it is crucial that you renew your registered address service on time.
