From HEXONET Wiki
If the registrant address is outside of the UK an address for service is required. This can be provided by creating a service contact handle with the desired service address using a standard <contact:create> command and assigning this contact handle as administrative contact of the domain using a standard <domain:create> or <domain:update> command. Any previously created contact handle with an address in the UK can be used as a service contact handle.
EPP example of the creation of a service contact handle:
