Set Registered Email Address for UK Companies

Use the Registered Email Address field in Entities to provide the email address that Companies House can use to communicate with the company.

You can register the same email address for more than one company.

You can record the Registered Email Address (REA) in the following ways:

  • For one company or LLP at a time, by editing the Registered Email Address field in Company Details

  • For multiple UK entities, by using Batch Change Registered Email Address Wizard

ECCT readiness

As part of ECCT, companies are required to maintain an appropriate email address where the emails sent by the Registrar would be expected to reach a person acting on behalf of the company or LLP.

You can set REA for UK companies and LLPs before March 4, 2024. The Registered Email Address must be submitted on the first Confirmation Statement after the ECCT implementation.

When you add a Registered Email Address in Entities, the first Confirmation Statement you generate after the ECCT implementation date will include the REA. Incorporations will also include the REA entered.

Currently, to change the Registered Email Address after it has been submitted to Companies House, you will need to use the Companies House new online process for the EM01 form and then update the REA in Entities manually. The e-filing EM01 form will be added to Entities in a future release.
