ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Is every registered-office change handled the same way?

No. The route depends on where the new office sits relative to local, Registrar and state boundaries.

What premises evidence is needed?

Prepare current address evidence, the right-to-use record and owner permission where applicable; the exact pack depends on the arrangement.

References: MCA: INC-22 instruction kit

Can a virtual mailing address always be used?

Do not assume so. The company must establish a compliant registered office capable of receiving official communications.

Are inter-state moves included?

Only if the written scope expressly covers the additional approvals and filings for that route.

Does MCA update every other authority?

No. Tax, bank, licence and counterparty systems require their own updates.

When should the website and invoices change?

Coordinate them with the legally effective address change and keep evidence of each downstream update.
