Documents Required for Change of Registered Office

6 documents5–7 working days within the same city; longer for inter-state shifts

Change of Registered Office is granted on the strength of the papers you file with it, so a complete set at the start is the difference between 5–7 working days within the same city; longer for inter-state shifts and a query that sends the application back. Below is every document our team needs from you, what each one is for, and how to get it to us. You upload all of it in your Fastlegal dashboard — nothing is couriered, and nothing is payable while you gather it.

Do I need to update GST registration too?

Yes. After the MCA change, file an amendment to your GST registration and update your bank, PAN records and other licences to the new address.
