Follow these instructions to complete your SR01. We’ll reject your form if any of these sections are incorrect, or if you have not paid the correct fee amount.
Part 1: Applicant’s details
Section 1: Applicant’s name
Complete the name of the person applying. You should also include any former names.
Section 2: Applicant’s date of birth
Give the applicant’s full date of birth.
Section 3: Email address
Give an email address we can use to contact you about the application. This will help avoid delays processing your application.
Part 2: Personal information to be removed
Tick which piece of personal information you wish want to remove. You can choose multiple boxes.
You can apply to remove:
- the day of your date of birth (for documents filed before 10 October 2015)
- your business occupation
- your signature
- your home address
Part 3: Address details on the public register
You only need to complete this section if you are applying to remove an address.
If you are only applying to remove other personal information (such as your day of date of birth, signature or occupation) you do not need to complete this section.
Section 1: Home address to be removed
Show the home address that you want to remove from the public register.
Section 2: Replace with service address
You only need to give a replacement address if you’re a current serving officer and the home address is your current service or ‘correspondence’ address. You must give a new address that you want to replace your service address.
If the address is currently the company’s registered office, you will need to change your registered office address before completing the SR01.
You do not need to complete this section if you’re no longer a serving officer, or if the company is dissolved.
Part 4: Documents on the public register
Section 1: Document details
Enter the details of the documents that show the personal details you want to remove.
You must give the document type or the number and title of the form and the registration date. The registration date is the date that we registered the document.
Search the Companies House register to find which documents show your personal details.
You can only remove your personal details from the list of documents Companies House can suppress.
If your home address was used as the company’s registered office
You must list the original filing which gave your home address as the registered office. This could have been on incorporation or a previous change of registered office address.
Do not list the filing that changed the registered office from your home address to a different address, or we’ll reject your application.
Part 5: Authentication
Enter your printed name. You do not need to sign the form.
Part 6: Presenter contact details
Give an address we can use to contact you if we are unable to contact you using the email address given in Part 1. If we have to reject your application, we will post it back to this address.
How to pay the fee
You must pay the correct fee using GOV.UK Pay before sending your SR01 application.
It costs £30 to remove your personal details from each document. You’ll need to pay for each document listed in your application.
We’ll reject your application if you do not pay the correct fee amount.
