Regulation 6 Notice that registrar intends to change address to default address
Where the registrar is satisfied that a relevant person’s registered service address does not meet the service address requirements, and regulation 10 (power to change address to default address without notice) does not apply, the registrar must give the relevant person and the relevant company a written notice in accordance with this regulation.
The notice must state that the registrar intends to change the relevant person’s registered service address to a default address unless within the specified period—
notice is given by the relevant company of a new service address in accordance with the applicable notice requirement, or
the relevant person or the relevant company objects to the registered service address being changed and provides evidence to the satisfaction of the registrar that the relevant person’s registered service address meets the service address requirements.
The notice must also state where the registered service address which the registrar intends to change is in the register.
In paragraph (2)(a) the “applicable notice requirement” means—
in relation to a notice given by the relevant company before section 51 of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 is fully brought into force, section 167, 167D, 276, 279D, 790VA or 790ZA of the 2006 Act, as applicable;
in relation to a notice given by the relevant company on or after section 51 of Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 is fully brought into force, section 167H, 279H or 790LD of the 2006 Act, as applicable.
The notice must be accompanied by a description of any information on which the registrar relied in deciding to act under this regulation.
A notice may be given under this regulation on the registrar’s own motion or following an application under regulation 4.
If it is given following an application under regulation 4, the notice must also state that fact.
In this Part “the specified period” means the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which a notice is given under paragraph (1) (if notice is given to the relevant person and the relevant company on different days, the period begins on the day on which the later notice is given).
