Companies House

What we know about this broker

Confirmed 2026-06-16. Companies House is the UK's official statutory register of companies, operated as an executive agency of HMSO. It holds company officer (director/PSC) names, residential addresses, dates of birth, signatures, and business occupation in public filings. Companies House claims a DPA 2018 Schedule 2 Part 1(5) exemption from UK GDPR Art.17 erasure requests for the core register. However, specific suppression routes exist: (1) SR01 form — apply to suppress residential address, DOB day, signature, or business occupation from historic documents; costs £34 per document. Submit completed SR01 to [email protected] or by post to: The Registrar of Companies, PO Box 4082, Cardiff CF14 3WE. Processing: minimum 30 days, up to 12 months for complex cases. (2) Section 1088 Companies Act 2006 — PSCs at serious risk of violence/intimidation can apply to suppress all PSC details; costs £100 online. Requires evidence of risk. (3) Residential addresses can also be suppressed via online account at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/protect-your-details/start (requires login). No suppression possible while address is the current registered office — must change first. id_required: true because identity verification is mandatory for online applications. Authorized agents accepted on a conditional basis with signed authority. Escalation to ICO if unlawful processing is asserted. Data protection phone: 02921 507370 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).
