Registered Office Address Change

Every company or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is required to have a registered office address where all official communications, acknowledgments, notices, and other correspondence can be addressed to. The registered office address of a company must always be an effective address for receiving necessary communications to avoid delays in important correspondence. During the company registration process, a residential or business place is designated as the registered office address. However, there may be situations where the registered office address needs to be changed later. As per the Companies Act 2013, the registered office of a company or LLP can be changed within the local limits of any city, town, or village where such office is established, by giving notice to the concerned Registrar within 30 days of the date of the change.

The registered office of a company is of utmost importance as it is the place where all the annual returns, books of account, statutory registers, and annual general meetings are maintained. It also helps in determining the jurisdiction over the company under certain acts. As per the Companies Act 2013, a company must have its registered office within 15 days of its incorporation to ensure proper receipt and sending of all documents and notices addressed to the company.
