Shifting Registered Office of LLP

An LLP can change its registered office for operational convenience or expansion, but the shift must be updated with the ROC through proper filings. The registered office is the LLP’s legal identity, so every move needs accurate documentation and timely approval. A missed filing can lead to penalties or cause official notices to go to the wrong address.

We manage the entire process so your LLP’s address change happens smoothly and without compliance issues.

What we do

Review the nature of the shift and applicable rules
Draft partners’ resolution for shifting the office
Prepare and file Form LLP-15
Obtain NOC from property owner or landlord
Update LLP Agreement if required
Coordinate with ROC for approval
Update statutory records and support filings with other authorities

Why this matters

Your registered office determines where legal notices, tax communication, and government correspondence will be delivered. Any errors in shifting can disrupt operations and invite compliance problems.
