Difference Between Registered Office Relocation and Address Change
Registered office relocation of a GmbH: A registered office relocation involves changing the legal registered seat of the company as set out in the articles of association. This change requires notarisation and may, depending on the new location, result in a transfer of jurisdiction to a new commercial register.
Change of business address: This involves updating the company’s postal address while the registered seat remains unchanged. This change must also be filed with the commercial register, but the company remains within the same registry district.
Commercial Register Filing
After the managing director’s signature, the address change is filed with the competent commercial register. Once the entry has been made, your new business address is officially recorded. This ensures that all legal requirements are met and that your business relationships can continue without interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions – Registered Office Relocation and Address Change
The change of company address must be filed with the competent commercial register. For a straightforward address change where the registered seat remains the same, a filing with the managing director’s notarially authenticated signature is sufficient. If it is a registered office relocation of the GmbH, a shareholders’ resolution is additionally required, which must also be notarised. Notary Franke supports you in Berlin with the authentication and filing of your address change or office relocation, ensuring everything is handled securely and smoothly.
Yes, in a GmbH the legal registered seat and the business address can differ. The registered seat is typically defined in the articles of association and refers to the legal location entered in the commercial register. The business address is the location where the management operates and business activities are carried out. Both addresses should be clearly defined and reported to the relevant authorities – such as the trade office and tax office – in good time to avoid confusion.
An address change of a GmbH in the commercial register typically takes 1 to 2 weeks after all required documents have been submitted. The process begins with the notarial authentication of the managing director’s application and ends with the entry of the new business address. Delays can occur if documents are missing or details are incomplete. It is important to file the change promptly to avoid potential legal consequences or penalty payments.
A commercial register entry must be updated as soon as the business address or registered seat of the GmbH changes. This includes relocating to a different city or municipality, or moving the administrative headquarters. Changes to the articles of association or management must also be updated in the commercial register. The application is submitted by the managing director, who must have the change notarially authenticated. Filing promptly protects against legal consequences and complications in day-to-day business operations.
The business address set out in the articles of association must be entered in the commercial register. This is typically the main place of business or administrative headquarters of the GmbH where the management operates. If the registered seat differs from the actual business address, this must be clearly stated. Any change of address must be filed by the managing director with the commercial register and notarially authenticated. Accurate registration is important, as this address is also used for official and legal correspondence.
