The UK government issued the Protection and Disclosure of
Personal Information (Amendment) Regulations 2025 on 15 May to
further extend the range of circumstances in which individuals can
apply to the Registrar of Companies to protect their personal
information where it appears on the public register were published
in draft.
The draft regulations expand the existing protection regime by
providing that provide that individuals can apply for the day of
their date of birth, their signature and, in the case of directors
of companies, their business occupation to be protected from public
inspection.
They also amend the Companies (Disclosure of Address)
Regulations 2009 to widen the protection of usual residential
address regime to allow any individual to apply to have their usual
residential address made unavailable for public inspection.
