My car is LHD and registered in Europe (Austria), so naturally I gave them the address that the car is registered to. I never considered the possibility that they would reject my request for the information that I thought I was legally entitled to. As it happens, I have a protected NCD, and my insurance company offered me more as a cash settlement than the repair cost - I had it repaired in the UK in a later visit.
