In this article, we’ll explain how shared addresses work, including Registered Offices.
Understanding how addresses are used within the platform is important for making accurate updates and ensuring tasks can be completed efficiently. Addresses can be recorded in several ways; for example, for an individual (such as an employee), a shared address with an agent or law firm, or a shared address used across an entity and its related companies, such as a head office and its subsidiaries.
On the Overview page, you’ll see the Registered Office/Agent. This is the address that will typically appear on official documents.
You will notice that there's also an additional field for addresses within the platform.
Setting up shared addresses is important because it allows you to track all records linked to the same address. If the entity moves, you can easily identify any related entities or individuals using that address and update them accordingly.
From the Relationships tab, you can see that the affiliations will show along with those addresses or even associations and who shares that address.
When entering addresses, you can add additional address fields by selecting the Edit Display button at the top of the page. From there, you can specify the type of address, such as a shared address, billing address, or delivery address. In most cases, the primary address will be set up as the registered office/agent.
When you select a shared address within the Address section, you’ll be able to see how the address has been set up.
You can view the address details, any additional addresses that have been added, and related documents for that entity. Addresses for individuals will appear slightly different, as they may include options such as residential or mailing addresses, along with other applicable address types.
Returning to the Overview page, you’ll see the details for the registered office/agent address. This is the address that will be used for all of your filings.
