Removing Your Home Address From The Companies House Register

3rd May 2024

How to remove your home address from the public register if you've used it as a service address for correspondence, or a shareholder's address. This also applies to LLPs and LLP members.

Dissolved company records
Following the government's response to the Corporate Transparency and Register Reform consultation, we've stopped removing dissolved records from Companies House service (CHS).

Additional dissolved records since 2010 will be put back onto CHS from January 2021.

Previously, records of dissolved companies on CHS were removed after 6 years following dissolution. These dissolved records are currently available for 20 years on other Companies House products for a fee.

If you are currently a company officer (or were previously), you may wish to review your company records to check if you'll be affected by this change.

Who can apply
An application to remove a home address can be made by:

an individual
a company - on behalf of current or former shareholders (members)
a person who registers a charge (mortgage)
You cannot ask to remove your company’s registered office address, even if it’s your home address.

Applying as a company, or as a person who registers a charge
You can only apply if the company’s activities puts the person, or anyone else at the address, at risk of serious violence or intimidation.

For example, if the company is involved in a certain sector of commerce of industry.
