Why can the company officer’s personal address be requested?

✅ In Short

The personal address may be needed to correctly identify the company officer in the file.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• Some personal information is used to distinguish people and complete the formalities.
• This address is not always the same as the registered office (siège social).
• It must match the officer’s real situation.

🧩 Why It Matters

Formalities information is reused in the creation documents and may be checked by the competent organizations. A small mistake in an address, manager, partner, capital or activity can therefore lead to a correction request. It is better to handle these points calmly before validation.

💡 Simple Example

For example, the registered office (siège social) may be at a domiciliation address, while the company officer lives elsewhere. The two addresses have different uses and must be entered according to what the file asks for.

🔎 Do Not Confuse

Information requested in the process is not requested out of curiosity. It can be used to identify the business, the people involved or the documents needed. When data seems sensitive, mainly check that it matches the reality of the file exactly.

🛠️ How to Do It on Leegal

• Enter the full personal address of the company officer when the process asks for it.
• Add necessary details: building, floor, apartment, post office box if applicable.
• Check consistency with the available supporting documents.

⚠️ Points to Check

• Do not automatically replace the personal address with the registered office address.
• If the company officer lives abroad, clearly indicate the country and the full address.

📌 Key Takeaway

This information helps identify the company officer and should not be confused with the official business address.
