When something changes
Update a company secretary’s details
When a company secretary’s name or service address changes, tell Companies House within 14 days with form CH03, or CH04 for a company acting as secretary. Fileyear picks the secretary from the register and files only what changed.

Questions directors ask
What can I change with CH03?
The secretary’s name and their service address, the one published on the register.
What if the secretary is a company?
Fileyear sees that on the register and files CH04 instead: a new name, registered office or registration details.
