A change in the address of a legal entity must certainly be recorded in the constituent documents, as well as in the Unified State Register of Enterprises (Organizations). Practice shows that for companies whose physical and legal addresses do not coincide, the regulatory authorities have a special interest.
Clearance procedure
The decision to change the address is usually made at a meeting of the founders or shareholders and is made out in writing. In addition, a change in the address of a legal entity is included in the charter, which is then approved in a new edition.
To renew the change of address, you need to contact the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration. The registration authority shall provide:
- The revised charter or amendments to it (usually 2 copies will be required).
- Application for re-registration of the address (form 13001);
- Protocol or decision of intention to change the legal address of the company.
- State duty receipt. Details for payment, as a rule, are in many banks.
In addition to all these documents, a letter of guarantee from the lessor is submitted to the Federal Tax Service. If the premises where the company will be located are owned by the company, then it is necessary to provide an appropriate certificate.
The changed legal address for registration of the LLC is also fixed in the agreement on establishment. It is necessary to provide the registration authority with the decision of the general meeting of the LLC, and if there is only one participant, the decision of the sole participant in the company. The state duty for re-registration today is 800 rubles.
Address Change Steps
After the decision to change the location is made, it is important to prepare all the documents and check their correctness. An application for a change of address must be certified by a notary, as otherwise they will simply not accept it along with the rest of the papers. If everything is done according to the requirements of the law, you can submit papers to the Federal Tax Service. The re-registration process usually takes a couple of days. Upon successful resolution of the issue, the director (founder) is issued (sent) an extract and Certificate of data change in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which confirms that the new address is registered with the tax office. After submitting a package of documents, you should be presented with an inventory of their receipt. The same document usually indicates the date when registration will be made.
Changing the address of a legal entity should result in such a procedure as receiving a letter from the Goskomstat. The Pension Fund and other authorities must also send a notice of registration of the new location of the company.
What to consider?
It is known that the Federal Tax Service has a whole database of legal addresses of mass registration. At the same time, up to a dozen enterprises managed to register at some addresses. Such cases are under special control. If one of these addresses wants to take a new company, most likely that it will receive a rejection and many problems. To change the address of a legal entity quickly and without problems, it is best to consult with a lawyer in advance.
