How to change your registered office address

1. Find your authentication code. This is a six-character code Companies House posted to your registered office when your company was formed. If you can't find it, request a new one. It will be posted to your current registered office, so order it before you change address.
2. Sign in to Companies House WebFiling with GOV.UK One Login. If you haven't used it before, you will be asked to create an account.
3. Choose "Change registered office address" and enter your company number and authentication code.
4. Enter your new address exactly as we've given it: 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP.
5. Submit. Online changes are usually registered within 24 hours. The new address only takes effect once Companies House has registered it.

Then update your directors' service addresses too, so your home address stays off the public register.

Companies registered in Scotland must keep a registered office in Scotland. Our Glasgow address keeps you covered.
