OS AD02 – Notice of Location or Change in Location of Charges

The OS AD02 (also referenced as en‑ad.02) is the official Companies House form used by overseas companies to notify a change of location for instruments that create charges, and to update the register of charges. This form is required whenever a charge‑creating instrument moves to a new jurisdiction or when the location details need correction.

What is the OS AD02 Form?

OS AD02 captures essential information about the charge, the instrument, and its new location. It ensures the public register remains accurate and that creditors can trace the security interests tied to a company.
