📝 Change of Registered Office of LLP

Relocation | Compliance Update | Legal Requirement

The Registered Office of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is its official legal address for all government communication and statutory notices. When an LLP shifts its office — whether within the same city, within the same state, or to another state — it must follow the prescribed legal procedure under the LLP Act, 2008.

⚖️ Legal Framework

The change of registered office of LLP is governed by:

• Section 13 of the LLP Act, 2008
