What is Change of Registered Office?

Every company must have a registered office address on record with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This address is used for all official correspondence, notices from MCA, and as the company's legal domicile. When a company relocates, it must update its registered office through the prescribed procedure under Sections 12 and 13 of the Companies Act, 2013. The complexity of the process depends on the nature of the move: (1) within the same city/town — simplest; (2) outside city but within the same state under the same ROC — moderate; (3) outside the ROC jurisdiction but within the same state — requires Regional Director approval; (4) from one state to another — requires Central Government (Regional Director) approval and MOA amendment. The company must also notify the new address on its letterhead, website, and all regulatory filings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the types of registered office changes?+
Type 1: Within same city/town — Board resolution + Form INC-22 within 30 days. Type 2: Outside city, same state, same ROC — Board resolution + Form INC-22. Type 3: Different ROC within same state — Special resolution + Form INC-23 + Regional Director approval. Type 4: Different state — Special resolution + MOA amendment + Form INC-23 + Regional Director/Central Government approval.
How long does a state-to-state office change take?+
An inter-state registered office change is the most complex — requiring shareholder approval (special resolution), ROC confirmation from both old and new states, newspaper advertisement, and Regional Director approval. Typical timeline is 45–90 days depending on Regional Director processing.
What is Form INC-22?+
Form INC-22 is filed on MCA to notify the ROC of a change in the registered office address — for changes within the same ROC jurisdiction. It must be filed within 30 days of the board resolution authorising the change, along with address proof of the new office.
Does a registered office change require MOA amendment?+
Yes, but only for state-to-state changes. The MOA's 'Registered Office Clause' specifies the state. Moving to a different state requires amending the MOA via special resolution and filing Form MGT-14 in addition to INC-23.
What proof of new address is required?+
Acceptable address proofs for the new office include: utility bill (electricity, water, gas) in the company's or owner's name, registered rent/lease agreement, or NOC from the property owner with their ID and address proof.
