A registered office in your own nationYou
The registered office must be a physical address in the same nation the company is registered in — a company registered in Scotland needs a Scottish address; England and Wales share one register, and Northern Ireland has its own. No PO Box. It is public, so do not use a home you would rather keep private. The company also gives an email address, which is not published.
