FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Service Address FAQs
What is a director's service address?
It is the correspondence address recorded for a director at Companies House. It is public, and it can be different from your home address.
How is it different from a registered office?
A registered office is the company's official address. A service address belongs to an individual director. The same address can be used for both if it meets the requirements.
Can I use your address instead of my home address?
You may use an appropriate service address instead of your home address for the public director service address record, subject to the applicable requirements and our service terms. Companies House may still require your residential address separately.
Can I use your address instead of my home address?
Yes, as your public service address, subject to the requirements and our terms. Companies House may still hold your residential address separately.
Is it suitable for an existing company?
Yes. You'll update your director details through the Companies House process.
Can I use it for a new company?
Yes, when setting the company up, subject to verification. Make sure you enter the address in the correct field.
What mail can I receive?
Eligible official correspondence addressed to you as a director.
Do you forward my mail?
Yes, on request. We post it first class to the address you give us. You pay the postage and envelope cost plus a 50p admin fee, and we only post when you ask.
Will I be told when mail arrives?
Yes. We send you an email when eligible mail addressed to you arrives.
Do you accept parcels?
No. We accept letters and official documents only.
What documents do I need?
Proof of identity and proof of address. We'll tell you what is accepted.
How much does it cost?
£39.99 per year. Extra postage or handling charges may apply where our service terms say so.
How long does activation take?
It depends on how quickly your identity checks are completed. We will tell you if we need anything further.
Can I use it as my registered office?
No. That is a separate service you buy separately.
