Why its required
A legal requirement for every
Hong Kong company
Under the Companies Ordinance, every company registered in Hong Kong must maintain a registered
office address at all times. This address is the official location for receiving legal documents,
government correspondence, and notices, and it must be a physical address in Hong Kong, not a P.O. Box.
Protect your privacy with a professional address
Your registered office address is part of the public record, listed on the Companies Registry and accessible to anyone. Using a third-party address like Woodburn's keeps your directors' and shareholders' personal addresses private.

Frequently asked
Is a registered office legally required in Hong Kong?
Yes. Every company registered in Hong Kong must have a registered office address under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). The address must be a physical location in Hong Kong, not a P.O. Box, and must be accessible during normal business hours. It must be provided to the Companies Registry at incorporation and kept up to date at all times.
Can I use my home address as a registered office?
Technically, yes, if you are a Hong Kong resident, but it is rarely advisable. Your registered office address is publicly listed on the Companies Registry and accessible to anyone. Using a home address exposes your personal details to the public record. Most companies use a professional third-party address for both privacy and credibility.
What happens if I change my registered office address?
Any change to your registered office address must be reported to the Companies Registry within 15 days of the change, using the prescribed form. Woodburn handles this filing on your behalf, including updating all related statutory records, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Does a registered office need to be seperate from my business address?
No, they can be the same address. However, many companies, particularly those operating remotely or outside Hong Kong, use a professional registered address for statutory purposes while conducting operations elsewhere. This is entirely compliant and common practice for international businesses using Hong Kong as a base.
What records must be kept at the registered office address?
Under the Companies Ordinance, your statutory records must be kept at the registered office address. This includes the register of members, register of directors and secretaries, minutes of board and general meetings, and other required documents. Woodburn maintains all of these on your behalf as part of the registered address service.
