    You need to provide a British adress in order to register one.

    I actually registered a .co.uk domain name from GoDaddy using a US mailing address. Then I moved it to Namecheap also with the US mailing address and it works.

    You dont need to live in UK to register .CO.UK domain. Even your address can be outside UK. Its not restricted like that of .com.au or .com.my. So you can register as many as you wish.
