Companies House is not obligated to open any documents delivered to this address and may destroy documents uncollected after 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>A person or business can file an RP07: Application to change a company\u2019s registered office address form with any supporting evidence if they think that their address is being used as a registered office address without their consent.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the landlord of a rented property files the RP07 after discovering that an ex-tenant is using the rented address as a registered office address without asking the landlord.<\/p>\n<p>Companies House will examine the application and decide if the claim is valid. If they agree that it is, they will notify the company of the application. The company has 28 days to challenge the application\u2014if they do not do this (or their case is weak), Companies House will switch the registered office to the default address.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_Your_Companys_Address_from_Companies_House_Default_Address\"><\/span>How to Change Your Company&#8217;s Address from Companies House Default Address?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To change the registered office address, a company must file an AD01: Change of registered office address form.

This will remain on the public record forever and harm the company in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>This can damage the company&#8217;s reputation and image, as well as cause problems with mail delivery and legal obligations.

Companies House says that the default address must be changed to an address that the company is allowed to use within 28 days.<\/p>\n<p>Even without this deadline, trading with the default address is not feasible. The harm done to a company\u2019s reputation by using the default address is very serious. Investors, suppliers, partners, and customers would not trust a company that has the stain of a default address on it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, even though Companies House will let you pick up mail that has been sent to the default address, this needs planning ahead by emailing Companies House and going to Cardiff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/can-i-change-my-limited-company-name\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Can i Change my Limited Company Name: The Ultimate Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/companies-house-late-filing-penalties\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Companies House Late Filing Penalties: What You Need to Know in 2025<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/companies-house-fee-increase\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Companies House Fee Increase \u2013 February 2026: What UK Startups Need to Know<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/disadvantages-of-dormant-company\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">What Are the Disadvantages of a Dormant Company?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/companies-house-identity-verification-launch-uk\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">New Identity Verification Rules from Companies House: A Guide for All Directors &amp; PSCs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/difference-between-partnership-and-limited-company\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">What is the Difference Between a Partnership (LLP) and Limited Company (LTD)?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/pros-and-cons-of-being-vat-registered\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of being VAT Registered?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/what-is-a-vat-registration-number\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">What is a VAT registration number? \u2013 A complete guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businassist.com\/blog\/hmrc-errors-and-mistakes-guidance\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Understanding HMRC Errors and Mistakes Guidance: Your Rights and Responsibilities<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What is the registered address of a company?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"The official address of a company, association, or other legal body that has been incorporated is known as its registered office.
