As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly change your company's registered office address.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsThe supplied tool data gives no price for a solicitor or filing service for this task.

If this goes wrong, official post may go to the wrong address and the company may miss important correspondence or filing deadlines.

What to actually do

  1. Hand it to a person

    The route this page recommends

    A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

  2. Use a tool built for this

    Second choice

  3. Do it yourself

    The distant third

    A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

    How to actually do it

    1. Open GOV.UK and search for the current guidance on changing a company's registered office address, then open the Companies House online filing service it identifies.
    2. Gather the company's registered name and company number, the complete new UK address, and the date on which the change should take effect.
    3. Paste those details into the prompt and ask the chatbot to produce a checklist and the filing data without submitting anything.
    4. Compare the chatbot's checklist with the current GOV.UK and Companies House guidance, correcting any difference before you continue.
    5. Enter the checked details into the Companies House online service, complete its identity or account checks, and submit the change yourself.
    6. Save the submission confirmation and check the company's public Companies House record shows the new registered office address.

    Prompt

    I need to change a UK company's registered office address. Help me prepare the filing, but do not claim that you can submit it or access Companies House. Use only the facts I provide and do not invent any legal requirement.

Company number: [company number]
Current registered office address: [current address]
New registered office address: [full new address]
Date the change should take effect: [date]

Tell me:
1. Whether the information above appears complete for preparing the change.
2. Which Companies House filing or online service I should use, checking the current GOV.UK or Companies House guidance where possible.
3. The exact data I should enter, in a clear checklist.
4. What I should check before submitting, including whether the new address is suitable as a registered office.
5. What confirmation and public-register entry I should check after submission.

Separate confirmed procedural facts from points I must verify on the current official guidance. Do not give legal advice, do not guess, and tell me to ask a UK solicitor about any unusual address, overseas issue, dispute or urgent compliance concern.

    Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT change my company's registered office address?
Partly. It can prepare a checklist and help you understand the Companies House filing, but you must use the official service, authenticate and submit the change yourself. This is not professional advice; ask a UK solicitor about an unusual or disputed address.
What form do I need to change a registered office address?
The usual filing is Companies House form AD01, which can generally be completed through the Companies House service. Check the current GOV.UK or Companies House guidance before filing because the available route and requirements can change.
Can I change my registered office address online?
You can use the Companies House online service where it is available for your company and change. AI can guide you through the information to prepare, but it cannot complete your authentication or submit the filing for you.
What happens if I enter the wrong registered office address?
Official correspondence may be sent to the wrong place, so the company could miss important notices or deadlines. Correct the public record through the current Companies House process and speak to a UK solicitor if the error has caused a compliance problem.
