Registered office

Registered office

The Registered Office is an address which is registered at the registering authority as the official address of a company, an association or any other legal entity. Generally it will form part of the public record.

It does not have to be where the organisation conducts its business and it is not unusual for accountants or agents to provide registered office services. In the United Kingdom all statutory post for a company is sent to the registered office address.

In most countries companies must register in the local companies register, and they must declare the location of their business. This location as published in the register is considered the Registered Office.
