We are just updating our headed paper. I know thers is a legal requirement to put your registered address on headed paper, but do you actually need to say "this is our registered address"?

We only have one address on the headed paper so I am trying to remove any words I can to make it look cleaner.

You also need to have your company number, if applicable, this also applies to emails and websites.

We have a footer on our paper in small print stating "registered in England company no: 12345678 registered office: 11 any road, any town etc etc.

Yep, we have all the legal requirements I am just not clear if you need to say:


"Company Ltd, 1 Big Street, Downtown, DO12 3AB. Registered in England & Wales, No. 123456."

or

"Company Ltd whose registered office is at 1 Big Street, Downtown, DO12 3AB. Registered in England & Wales, No. 123456."

I want to do the former if it's legal...

The former is legal, if it is the only address on your letterhead.

We have our address at the head, with no reference to it being our reg. office, and at the foot:
'Company Name Ltd Registered in England & Wales No. 1234567'
