Part 1: Companies House Reform General offences and enforcement Section 106: Rectification of register: service addresses
This section inserts new section 1097B into the Companies Act 2006, which confers upon the Secretary of State a regulation-making power to enable the Registrar to change a relevant person’s registered service address where there is evidence to suggest that the address is not valid. The Registrar may act of their own motion or on the basis of an application by a third party. It is based on section 1097A, which makes similar provision in relation to company’s registered office. For the purposes of section 1097B, a ‘relevant person’ is a director, secretary, joint secretary, registrable person or registrable legal entity in all cases of a company that is not an overseas company.
	This section also makes consequential amendments to section 1087 by including a reference to section 1097B and service addresses.
