From 27 January 2025, for the first time directors will be able to apply to suppress a residential address that has been used as the company’s registered office address.

If the residential address is the company’s current registered office address, it will have to be changed before applying for suppression of the home address. The fee will be £30 for each document.

While operating companies will be able to hide their addresses from public view, if the company is dissolved or the person is no longer acting as a director, then the first part of the post code of the residential address will remain on the register even after paying to have it removed.
