What is a Director Service Address?
A director service address, also called a correspondence address, is the official address a company director uses on the Companies House public register. It receives statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC while helping keep the director’s residential address private. Our service provides UK company directors with a secure London EC1 address for official correspondence.
Is a Director Service Address Right for You?
Home-based directors
When you become a director of a UK company, your home address appears on the Companies House public register unless you provide an alternative. Anyone who searches your name and finds where you live. A director service address replaces your residential address with Your Company Formations’ London EC1 address in the public record from the day your company is formed.
Non-UK resident directors
Directors based outside the UK commonly use a professional service address as their correspondence address for Companies House purposes. Our London EC1 address gives non-resident directors a credible, compliant address without requiring a physical presence in the UK.
Company secretaries and persons with significant control (PSCs)
The service address requirement applies to company secretaries, PSC shareholders, and directors. If you hold any of these roles and want to keep your home address off the public register, you need a separate service address for each role.
Directors of multiple companies
Use the same London EC1 address across multiple companies, noting each company requires its own service address purchase. If you direct more than one UK limited company, you need a separate service address for each. Companies House holds a distinct officer record for every company you are registered with, and each record requires its own correspondence address.
LLP partners
Partners in a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales must provide a correspondence address to Companies House under the same rules that apply to company directors.

The Registered Office Address covers your company record, while the Director Service Address covers your individual officer record. One service does not cover the other.
3 Addresses Companies House Collects During Company Formation
Companies House collects three distinct addresses for each director during company formation.

Address Type
|
Purpose | Visibility |

| Registered office address | The company's official address for statutory correspondence | Publicly listed |
| Director's service address | Official correspondence address for company officials | Publicly listed |
| Company Official Residential Address | Identity verification only | Private |
Companies House keeps your residential address on a protected register. It does not appear in public searches and is only accessible in limited legal circumstances. Your service address is what appears publicly on the officer record. If you do not provide a service address at the point of formation, Companies House uses your residential address instead and publishes your home address on the public register by default.
Companies House Director Service Address Requirements
Every director, company secretary, PSC shareholder, and LLP member of a UK limited company or limited liability partnership must provide a service address to Companies House. These requirements apply whether you are a UK resident or an overseas director.
-
Address Change Rule
Unlike a registered office address, a director's service address can be anywhere in the world. It does not need to be a UK address, though a UK address is strongly recommended for companies operating in England and Wales.
-
Physical Address Required
The address must be capable of receiving legal documents. It must be a full postal address where correspondence is physically deliverable.
-
Compliant Company Address
The service address appears publicly on the Companies House officer register. Anyone searching your name or your company name will find it.
-
Appropriate address standard
The requirement applies separately to each role. If you are both a director and a PSC shareholder, Companies House holds a service address record for each role.
-
