Directory Enquiry records

The data that we use is supplied from a core database (OSIS) to which all licensed Telecommunications Operators and Service Providers submit their customers' directory data.

You will need to contact your own service provider as we are not able to make changes to this central database on behalf of other telephone service providers.

Once they make the changes the correct data will be added to the OSIS database and from there it will cascade to all directory service providers.

Director Records - Companies House

As a Director of a company individuals are required to provide their residential address to the Registrar. Prior to the implementation of the Companies Act 2006 this meant that your residential address would be visible on the public record. On 1 October 2009 the Companies Act came into effect, which allows you the option to provide a service address rather than your residential address for display on the public record. This could be the company's registered address, the address of an accountant, a solicitor, or a formation agent or any address at which you may accept service of documents. Other officers such as company secretaries do not need to give their residential address, they are only required to provide a service address to the Registrar.

The service address that you provide will be made available on the public register. However, even if you have used your residential address as a service address, Companies House will not confirm to interested parties whether it is a residential address or not.

If your residential address is already available on the public register and you would like to provide a different service address you need to file Form CH01 (for a director) or CH03 (for a secretary with Companies House).

For further information on changing the details that you have provided to the Registrar, please see Companies House guidance booklet 'GP3: Life of a Company Part 2 - Event Driven Filings'.

Individuals are only able to restrict total disclosure of their address if they are at serious risk. For further details about this please see Companies House guidance booklet 'GP7 - Restricting the disclosure of your address'.

If your details are no longer on the 192.com but are still appearing on search engines, such as Google, this could be because their crawler has yet to pick up the removal of your 192.com listing. Search engine crawlers visit 192.com on a periodic basis and take a snapshot of the current version of all of our pages. This snapshot, which will never contain your full address, allows search engines to match their users' searches with pages on 192.com.

While removing your record from 192.com will not automatically update the search engine result lists, anyone clicking through to 192.com will not be shown your record. Next time that the search engine crawlers return to take a new snapshot of 192.com, your record should disappear from their listings.

Google provides a way to expedite the process of removing pages from their listings. For further details, visit:
