Uploading documents to your Private Box account
You may be required to provide documents to Private Box. This is usually for companies that use the Registered Office address service, or when completing identity verification.
The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 16MB.
Upload vs Email
Uploading documents directly to your Private Box account is more secure than using email to provide documents, as email passes through intermediary servers when sent who can store a copy of the message and data associated.
Step-by-step
1. Log in to your Private Box account
2. Navigate to the ‘People’ or ‘Companies’ section of your account
