CLG company-secretarial support for an exposed home address

Remove Your Home Address from a CLG’s Companies House Public Record — SR01 Support

Coddan reviews where your home address appears in a Company Limited by Guarantee’s filing history, identifies the eligible historical documents, coordinates any current-address changes that must come first and prepares the appropriate SR01 application route.

This is not merely a service for changing the address. A current registered office, SAIL or director service address can be changed without removing the same home address from historical public documents. Coddan connects those separate operations so the present and historical record are dealt with in the right order.

Privacy point: do not place the home address, identity-document details or unredacted filings in an ordinary initial enquiry. Begin with the company number and a short description of where the address appears; Coddan will confirm the appropriate collection route after the service scope has been established.

Does This CLG SR01 Service Match Your Position?

The work Coddan takes forward

From Public-Record Evidence to a Coordinated SR01 Outcome

Decision boundary: Coddan prepares and coordinates the work within the agreed service scope. Before submission, the individual reviews the completed application and document schedule, confirms their accuracy, makes the required declaration and signs the application. Companies House retains responsibility for eligibility, processing and the decision.

The immediate service route

Begin the CLG SR01 Review Without Sending the Home Address

Where the affected-document count or prerequisite address work has not already been established, the correct first action is a specific CLG SR01 scope check. This establishes the likely number of affected documents, any current-address work and the secure collection route before sensitive information is requested.

The scope check remains available where the number of affected documents, the appropriate replacement address or the correct application route is uncertain.

Current Address Change and Historical Suppression Are Different

A CLG can update its present address information without removing the former home address from documents already available through Companies House. The reverse is also important: an SR01 application cannot be used to leave an unsuitable home address in place as the company’s current registered office or SAIL, or as a serving officer’s current public service or correspondence address.

Where Does the Home Address Appear?

The visible address may appear because it was used in more than one capacity or repeated in several filings. Coddan checks the public filing history and separates each occurrence by the individual, document, date and purpose for which the address was supplied.

What Coddan Reviews Before Preparing SR01

The filing-history review converts a broad privacy concern into an identifiable professional task. It is also the control that prevents the application from listing the wrong document or missing a prerequisite change.

1. Public-record confirmation: Coddan confirms whether the full home address or part of it is actually visible and records the relevant company and document references.
2. Individual and capacity: Coddan establishes whether the applicant is or was a director, secretary, person with significant control, subscriber or another individual whose details appear in an eligible document. CLG membership alone does not make every member automatically eligible.
3. Document origin: each affected filing is traced to the use that introduced the address. A former registered office is traced to the original filing that put it on the record.
4. Eligibility control: the document type and address occurrence are checked against the current Companies House route.
5. Current-address control: Coddan identifies whether the registered office, SAIL or a serving officer’s public address must be changed before SR01.
6. Scope and fee schedule: the eligible documents are listed so the official fee can be calculated per document and Coddan’s one-off work can be distinguished from any continuing address service.

For a dissolved CLG: where the home address was used as the registered office, current official guidance requires a six-month wait from dissolution before the individual applies to remove it. A dissolved company does not require a new registered office or replacement service address solely for this SR01 route, but restoration is a separate destination if the company needs to resume legal existence.

SR01 Application, Document Schedule and Official Fee

Form SR01 is an application by an individual to remove specified personal details from eligible documents on the public Companies House register. On this page, the service is limited to the individual’s home address or part of it. It is not an application by the CLG to erase all address history.

Companies House currently charges £34 for each document listed. The charge is therefore determined by the number of eligible documents in the schedule—not by the number of companies, address lines or pages. Coddan’s review establishes the schedule before the official payment is made.

The £34 figure is the Companies House fee current at the date this page was prepared. It is separate from Coddan’s professional fee and from any address-service charge, and should be reconfirmed when the scope is agreed.

Replacement-Address Work Before SR01

Where the exposed home address remains active, the Participant chooses one of two practical arrangements. That choice is connected to SR01, but it does not change the page into an ordinary address-change service.

The Complete Coddan SR01 Service Journey

The service does not stop when a form is sent. It follows the address from the visible public record through the prerequisite changes, application, Companies House response and continuing secretarial position.

What Companies House May Do After Submission

Companies House may accept the application, request more information or reject it where the form, payment reference, document selection, prerequisite address position or eligibility does not meet the applicable requirements. Coddan records the response and, where included in the agreed scope, prepares the appropriate reply or corrected submission.

Outcome limitation: suppression at Companies House does not guarantee the disappearance of cached search results, archived copies or information already collected by independent third-party databases. Companies House may lawfully retain information and may make it available to authorised bodies even when it is no longer displayed on the public register.

CLG-Specific Address and Governance Considerations

A Company Limited by Guarantee has members or guarantors rather than share capital and shareholders merely because it is incorporated. The SR01 applicant is still the individual whose home address appears in an eligible document; the CLG context determines the surrounding records, authority, correspondence and continuing administration.

Continuing Registered-Office, Service-Address and Secretarial Support

The immediate professional outcome is a coordinated current and historical address position. The continuing outcome is that official correspondence and company records remain properly administered after the SR01 decision.

• A registered-office service may continue for the agreed subscription period and renewal basis.
• A director service-address service may continue separately and may have a different correspondence scope.
• A SAIL and records-custody arrangement, if applicable, must be expressly agreed rather than assumed to be included.
• Changes in directors, officers, members, the company’s activities or address arrangements may require later filings.
• Coddan can connect the completed SR01 record to appropriate continuing CLG company-secretarial support.

What Affects the Scope and Price?

No dedicated package or invented fixed price is applied to this page. Coddan first establishes the affected documents and prerequisite work, then separates the cost components so the Participant can see what is one-off and what continues.

The Same Capability, Applied to the Correct Entity

Coddan can provide corresponding address-protection, filing and record-correction support for other UK companies and limited liability partnerships. This page remains specific to a CLG: its directors, members or guarantors, company records and continuing secretarial position.

A limited company by shares has shareholders, share capital and its own company records; an LLP has members, designated members and LLP forms. Until dedicated entity pages are available, Coddan’s general SR01 service page is the restrained destination for the wider UK-company route.

Coddan’s Professional Role and the Independent Decision Boundary

Coddan provides company-secretarial, address and corporate-administration work within the agreed scope. Its regulatory positions support distinct functions and must not be confused with the individual’s application or Companies House’s decision.

HMRC supervision and Companies House registration are regulatory facts. They are not government endorsement, recommendation or a transfer of Companies House’s decision-making power to Coddan.

Clear Service Boundaries

• Coddan does not guarantee that every document is eligible, that Companies House will accept the application or that processing will finish by a particular date.
• SR01 does not erase information lawfully retained by Companies House or guarantee removal from search engines, archives or third-party databases.
• An address used without authority, a false filing, identity theft or a fraudulent appointment may require a Companies House correction or protection route different from ordinary SR01 work.
• Serious violence or intimidation may require a protected-information application with different evidence and decision criteria.
• Legal disputes, court proceedings and contested authority require the appropriate legal destination; Coddan does not decide the parties’ legal entitlement.
• Charity, CIC, RTM, property-management and regulatory obligations remain in force after eligible address information is suppressed.

Official SR01 Sources

These Companies House and GOV.UK sources allow the Participant to verify the current form, eligible-document controls, fee and public-record effect without turning this service page into a substitute filing manual.

• Form SR01 and official submission information
• Official instructions for completing SR01
• Companies House list of documents and details that may be suppressed
• Official guidance on removing a home address from the register

Practical Questions Before Starting

Start with the CLG Record, Not with a Guess About the Form

Provide the company number, your name and a brief explanation of whether the home address appears as a former or current registered office, SAIL, director service address or in another known filing. Coddan will establish the apparent record-review scope, prerequisite address work and the next appropriate action.

Do not include the full home address or attach unredacted identity documents in the initial general enquiry. Coddan will confirm what information is required and the appropriate collection route after the scope has been established.

The service scope, Coddan professional fee, current Companies House fee and any continuing address-service charge will be identified separately before the applicable work proceeds.
