As you know, the life of a company is not linear. For economic, geographic or strategic reasons, you may decide tochange your registered office. If you're not familiar with this process, let us guide you!
How do you change your registered office?
Change head office address
Your company domicile is theaddress of your registered office. While this address must appear in your Articles of Association, since it is the address at which you will receive your business mail, changing it will fundamentally require a modification to your Articles of Association. Thus, a change of domiciliation implies that you have chosen to change the address of your registered office.
Transferring your registered office means changing the address that appears on all your legal and official documents. Your customers and partners will be the first to benefit from this change, as it is to this address that you will receive your company mail.
A change of registered office is considered as a transfer of the registered office, so any change of address must be declared to the relevant Centre de Formalités des Entreprises (CFE) .
Declaring the transfer of your registered office
This change constitutes an amendment to the articles of association, and you must first ensure that the decision has been taken by the decision-making bodies of your company, depending on its legal status. Once the decision has been taken, you need to publish a notice of modification in a Journal d'Annonces Légales (JAL) , indicating the new and old registered office locations.
The last step is to register the deed with the CFE, which will include the following information:
- A copy of the deed of transfer, certified by the legal representative,
- A copy of the updated statutes,
- Form M2 for a legal entity or P2 for an individual,
- Proof of occupancy of the new premises,
- Certificate of publication or notice in a JAL,
- An original power of attorney from the legal representative if he or she has not signed the forms.
Last but not least, these procedures can be carried out online via teleservices.
