Contact Britvex →Registered Address Service
A UK company must keep an appropriate registered office address at all times. It must be a physical address in the correct UK jurisdiction where official documents can reliably come to the attention of the company and delivery can be acknowledged.
A Royal Mail PO Box alone cannot be used as the registered office. A professional address service can be used where the company has permission and the service meets the statutory appropriate-address test.
The registered office appears on the public Companies House register. Directors may also use a separate service address for public correspondence instead of displaying a home address.
Britvex can coordinate the address service with Companies House change filings and the wider virtual-office/mail workflow.

Registered Address Service — Common Questions
What is an appropriate registered office address?
It is a physical address in the correct UK jurisdiction where company documents are expected to come to the attention of someone acting for the company and delivery can be acknowledged.
Can I use a PO Box as the registered office?
A Royal Mail PO Box on its own is not permitted as a registered office address.
Will my registered office be public?
Yes. The registered-office address appears on the public Companies House register.
Can Britvex file the address change for an existing company?
Yes, where the address service and Companies House change filing are included in the engagement.
Is a registered office the same as a director service address?
No. They can be the same address, but they are legally different roles and should be selected deliberately.
