U.K. Non-Resident Company Registration FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About Registering a UK Company from Abroad
Can’t find an answer?
Yes — UK law allows non-residents to register a limited company. You don’t need a UK address or to be in the UK. Online Filings is built specifically to support international entrepreneurs from over 170 countries.
Packages for international users include a legally required UK registered office address and enhanced due diligence. As we're supervised by HMRC for Anti-Money Laundering (AML), we must conduct stricter checks, making our service more comprehensive than basic formations.
We use secure biometric checks via smartphone. You’ll complete a video selfie and upload proof of ID and address. For non-UK residents, a notarised proof of address (certified by a notary or solicitor) is required to meet UK compliance standards.
Regulation Note: No — Online Filings provides a London registered office address and virtual mailbox with all packages. However, non-resident directors must submit a notarised personal address document to satisfy AML and company formation rules.
Once your documents are approved and verified, we typically register your UK company in 6 business hours. Your Companies House certificate and company number will be emailed to you the same day.
Your official letters from Companies House and HMRC or other government entities will be scanned into your secure virtual mailbox. We’ll also remind you of key deadlines and offer services like VAT registration, PAYE setup, and your annual confirmation statement.
Regulation Note: Yes. We are an authorised Companies House formation agent and supervised by HMRC under the UK’s Money Laundering Regulations (MLR). Your data, filings, and identity are handled securely and in full legal compliance.
