Change in Office Address

Change in Office Address-Overview

The Registered Office serves as the official correspondence address or principal place of business for a company. It is the designated address for all official communications with the company. In the course of business, there may arise various reasons for a company to change its registered office, such as shifting operations to a different location or relocating offices within the same city. However, as a legal entity, any change must comply with the relevant laws and involve the proper filing of documents.

When a company needs to change its registered office address within the same city, it can do so by passing a Board Resolution and filing the necessary address change documents with the Registrar of Companies.

The new address for the registered office need not be a commercial location; it could be the residential address of one of the promoters or any other identifiable address. As long as the company meets the regulatory requirements and completes the proper procedures, the change can be executed smoothly.
