Fast, Reliable & Fully Compliant Registered Office Address Updates for UK Companies
Your company’s registered office address is more than just a location — it is a legally significant point of contact for all official communications, regulatory notices, tax correspondence, legal documents, compliance letters, and formal government mail.
Whenever a company changes address, even if it is only moving from one office to another within the same city, it must notify Companies House promptly. Failing to update your company’s registered address can lead to:
- missed legal notices
- penalties for non-compliance
- delayed action on government requests
- risk of involuntary strike-off
- loss of important HMRC correspondence
- compliance breaches
- reputational issues
That’s why the Companies House Address Update must be handled accurately and on time.
Audit Consulting Group (ACG) helps UK companies update their registered office seamlessly, ensuring full compliance with legislation, correct documentation, and immediate submission to Companies House. Whether you’ve relocated your office, switched accountants, or simply want a more reliable official address, we ensure everything is updated professionally.
Why Updating Your Companies House Registered Address Matters
Your registered office is the official legal address of your company. It determines where:
✔ Legal notices are delivered
Courts, HMRC, and regulatory bodies send important letters to this address.
✔ Compliance documents are sent
Annual reminders, filing deadlines, confirmation notifications, etc.
✔ Companies House publicly displays your company information
The address is visible to the public, lenders, clients, and investors.
✔ Banks and financial institutions rely on registered records
If your Companies House address doesn’t match your bank records, issues can arise.
✔ Official documents must be stored or accessible
Registers, resolutions, compliance files.
A mismatch or outdated address can lead to serious administrative and legal consequences — often without the business noticing until it’s too late.
With ACG, everything is done correctly and quickly, giving you peace of mind.

What’s Included in Our Companies House Address Update Service
What’s Included in Our Companies House Address Update Service- Initial Compliance Review
Before submitting anything, we review:
- your current registered address
- company type and structure
- eligibility of the new address
- any potential conflicts with regulations
- whether additional updates may be needed
For example, some businesses do not realise that the address must be able to receive official post every business day — we explain these requirements clearly.
- Verification of New Address Details
We ensure the new address meets all legal criteria:
- must be in the same country of incorporation (England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland)
- must belong to a physical location
- must allow delivery of notices
- must not be a PO Box unless it includes a full physical address
This protects you from future compliance issues.
- Preparation and Filing of the Address Change
We prepare and submit the appropriate Companies House form.
This filing is completed electronically for the fastest processing time.
We ensure:
- correct formatting
- accurate company number
- proper submission sequence
- clear timestamping
Companies House often rejects forms due to formatting mistakes — our team guarantees accuracy.
- Confirmation and Monitoring of Status
After filing, we track the status until Companies House officially approves and updates it on the public register.
We then notify you immediately and provide:
- digital confirmation
- updated company snapshot
- updated address information for records
- Optional Additional Updates (Recommended)
Many clients choose to update related items at the same time, including:
Director service address changes
To protect privacy.
PSC register address updates
Ensures full consistency.
HMRC address updates
For Corporation Tax, PAYE, VAT or CIS.
Bank address change notifications
Avoids security flagging by the bank.
Updating invoices, website, terms & conditions
For brand alignment.
We can handle all of these to ensure total record accuracy.
