London Service Address

This is the official address of a director, secretary, or person with significant control (PSC) and is used by government agencies, such as Companies House, to deliver all personal statutory communications and notices.

Directors, secretaries, and PSCs are required to provide a service address to form a limited company. The forwarding of service address mail is free of charge.

No. This service is for the use of one company officer and covers personal government mail only. If you are interested in using our registered office address service, please click here.

Yes. Our Service Address renews every 12 months at £26 + VAT per officer. If several officers use the service, or one officer uses it for more than one company, each one renews separately. You can manage your renewals from your online account.

If you don’t renew, you’ll no longer be able to use our address, and we’ll stop handling your official mail. You’ll need to update your service address with Companies House before your service ends, or important government post may not reach you.

The service address can only be used to receive official government mail for a company officer. If you would like to use our London WC2 address as your business address and have all your business mail and correspondence forwarded to you, please see our business address product which can be bought online.

Our service address covers official government mail addressed to you personally as a company officer, such as letters from Companies House and HMRC. If anything else arrives for you or your company, such as post from customers, suppliers, or your bank, our Mail Team will email you to let you know.

To have all your post taken care of, add our Business Address Service. We’ll forward your general business mail to you, so nothing gets missed, and you can use our prestigious Covent Garden address with customers and suppliers too.

No. The forwarding of official government mail by scan and email is free.

Yes, if you’re a director, LLP member, or PSC. You must give Companies House your usual residential address, but it’s kept off the public register. Only your service address is shown publicly. Company secretaries only need to provide a service address.

If your home address already appears on older documents because you used it as your service address, you can apply to Companies House to have it removed.

Your service address must be a physical address where official documents can be delivered and the delivery can be acknowledged, for example, by signing for recorded mail. A PO Box doesn’t qualify. Our Covent Garden address meets these rules, as our mail team receives and signs for official post, then scans and emails it to you on the day it arrives.

A service address is for the people behind the company: directors, company secretaries, LLP members, and PSCs. It’s shown publicly instead of their home address and receives official post addressed to them personally.

A registered office is the company’s official address. It appears on the public register, receives government post for the company, and must be shown on your company stationery and website.

You need both, and they can be the same address. Our company address guide explains how each address works.

Each purchase covers one officer at one company. If several officers want to use our address, buy the service for each person. If one officer holds roles at more than one company, buy it for each company.

Simply buy our London service address, and we’ll update your details with Companies House for you. If your company was formed elsewhere, just add it to your account first using your company registration number and authentication code. From then on, we’ll scan and email your official mail to you on the day it arrives.
