Difference Between Address Change and Registered Office Relocation
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 the company changing its business 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 shareholder’s signature, the registered office relocation or 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 required, which must be notarised. Notary Franke supports you in Berlin with the authentication and filing of your address change or registered office relocation, ensuring your relocation is handled smoothly.
For corporations such as the GmbH, a registered office relocation becomes legally effective once the change has been entered in the commercial register. Before registration, a shareholders’ resolution determining the relocation of the registered office must be in place. After notarisation and filing with the commercial register, the new address becomes legally binding. Until registration, the previous registered office of the company remains valid. Only with the official registration can the new address and jurisdiction be used with legal effect.
A registered office relocation may be necessary for various reasons, e.g. when the company moves to another city or municipality. Strategic reasons such as tax advantages, better accessibility for customers, or proximity to business partners can also play a role. In some cases, a relocation is required to align the administrative headquarters or principal place of business with the actual business activity. The relocation creates clarity and ensures that the company operates correctly under the law at its new location.
For a registered office relocation, a shareholders’ resolution must be passed and notarised. The change must then be filed with the commercial register. In addition, the trade licence must be re-registered, the tax office notified, and, where necessary, the articles of association amended. It is also important to inform business partners and customers of the new address. For a relocation abroad, the legal provisions of the destination country must also be taken into account. Professional planning and working with a notary make the process considerably easier.
A registered office relocation can easily give rise to mistakes with legal or organisational consequences. The most common include:
- Incomplete commercial register filing: Missing documents such as the shareholders’ resolution or inaccurate details.
- Missed trade re-registration: Not reported to the trade office in time.
- Incorrect details in the articles of association: Registered office change not correctly amended.
- Authorities not informed: Tax office or Chamber of Commerce (IHK) not notified of the change.
- Lack of communication: Business partners or customers not informed of the new address.
