Director Service Address London —
Protect Every Director’s Home Address
Individual director service address at London EC2M — keeps each director’s personal home address off the public Companies House register. All CH01 filings handled. Same-day activation. Used alongside or independently of your company registered address. From £29/year per director.
Director Service Address — Your Home Stays Private, Always
Every UK company director’s service address is publicly visible on the Companies House register — searched thousands of times daily by prospective clients, suppliers, competitors, journalists and data brokers. In 2026, a director’s home address on the public register is immediately harvested by marketing databases and can create genuine personal safety and privacy risks, particularly for high-profile or public-facing directors.
The Director Service Address is the address listed on the Companies House public register for an individual director — where correspondence addressed specifically to that director (rather than to the company) is sent. Under the Companies Act, a director can protect their residential address from public disclosure by using a service address instead. The residential address must still be registered with Companies House (held on the protected register) — but only the service address is publicly visible.
Our service address — Suite 4, 20 London Wall, London, EC2M 5TE — is used as the publicly visible director address. Any correspondence arriving at this address addressed to a named director is scanned and emailed the same working day. This protects the director’s home address while ensuring all correspondence addressed to them personally is received promptly.
In 2026, the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 has introduced mandatory director identity verification with Companies House — adding a further layer of scrutiny on director information. Ensuring that the director’s service address is correct, current and professionally managed is now more important than ever. We update director service addresses immediately on any change — filing CH01 within 24 hours and maintaining accurate records throughout.

Who Uses This Service?
Directors Working From Home
Home-based directors who incorporated using their home address — or whose home address is currently their service address — need immediate protection before their address is scraped further.
Public-Facing & High-Profile Individuals
Executives, public figures, media personalities and anyone with online visibility whose home address appearing on a public register creates genuine personal safety or reputational risk.
Non-UK Directors of UK Companies
Overseas directors of UK subsidiaries whose foreign personal addresses are used as UK director service addresses need a UK address for credibility and compliance purposes.
Multiple Directors — One Service
Companies with several directors — family businesses, partnerships, investor-backed businesses — need all directors’ addresses protected simultaneously. We manage all director addresses under a single subscription.
4 Mistakes to Avoid — And Why They’re Costly
The company registered office address and the director service address are separate registrations. Using our EC2M registered office address does not automatically change each director’s listed address — a separate CH01 filing is required for each director. We file CH01 for every director as part of our director service address subscription.
If a director uses their home address as their service address and moves house, the old address remains on the Companies House register until a CH01 is filed. The new address is not automatically updated. We track director address updates and file CH01 within 24 hours of any change notification.
Some low-cost virtual address providers accept mail for directors but don’t scan or forward it — leaving directors unaware of correspondence addressed to them personally. All director correspondence received at our EC2M address is scanned and emailed the same working day.
Even after subscribing to a service address, many directors don’t file CH01 immediately — leaving their home address on the public register while the service address subscription is live. We file CH01 within 24 hours of every new director service address subscription — the home address is off the public register before the week is out.
Director Service Address — Your Questions Answered
The registered office is the company’s official address — for all corporate correspondence. The director service address is the address listed for an individual director on the Companies House register — for correspondence addressed to that director personally. Both can be the same EC2M address, but they are separate registrations requiring separate filings. A director can change their service address at any time by filing form CH01.
Yes — under the Companies Act 2006, directors can provide a service address (rather than their home address) as their publicly visible Companies House address. The director’s home address must still be registered with Companies House, but it is held on the protected register and is only accessible to specified public authorities — it is not publicly visible. We provide service addresses that keep home addresses permanently off the public register.
A director service address is changed by filing form CH01 with Companies House — which can be done online or by post. We file CH01 on your behalf within 24 hours of your subscription, updating your service address to our EC2M 5TE address. The change is typically visible on the public Companies House register within 24 hours of filing.
All mail addressed to you personally (by name) at our EC2M address is scanned and emailed to you the same working day it is received. This includes Companies House correspondence, HMRC personal correspondence (Self Assessment, NIC), court documents and any other official mail addressed to you as an individual director. We maintain a mail log showing every item received and forwarded.
Yes — you can notify HMRC to use your service address for personal correspondence, including Self Assessment and NIC correspondence. This keeps your home address off HMRC’s records. We notify HMRC on your behalf when you subscribe to our director service address, ensuring that personal HMRC correspondence routes to EC2M rather than to your home address.
