Plain-English guide · UK candidates
Public record is part of the role
If you are appointed as a UK company director, certain information appears on the Companies House register. This is normal for UK company officers, not specific to nominee arrangements.
What may be visible
Public details can include your name, service address, month and year of birth, nationality, occupation if supplied, appointment date and resignation date. Historic appointments may remain visible.

What may be visible
Understanding public visibility helps you decide before you continue as a director candidate.
Service address vs home address
A service address can be different from your residential address. This matters. If your home address is used as the service address, it may become visible in public filings.
Decide before applying
If public visibility would cause problems with your employer, profession, family situation or personal safety, think carefully before continuing. A legitimate process should make this clear upfront.
Before you continue
If you understand the public-record element and still want to continue, start with registration.
