Change of Registered Office Without Amending the Bylaws

A properly managed corporate record helps prevent documentary problems from obstructing necessary company decisions. Relocating the registered office within the same jurisdiction may be simpler if the bylaws state only the jurisdiction and the street address is recorded separately.

What to keep in mind

Counsel checks the relevant bylaw provisions, decision-making authority, new address, registry notice requirements and notifications to banks and counterparties.

Moving operations while leaving outdated legal address records can affect service of notices and regulatory inspections.

Distinctions often confused

A company's registered office is its specific address; its registered domicile may refer to the jurisdiction stated in the constituent instrument.

Frequently asked questions

Does moving offices always require a bylaw amendment?
It depends on how the domicile and office provisions are drafted and the applicable registry rules.
Is a move within Buenos Aires City treated like moving to another province?
No. An interjurisdictional change ordinarily involves additional corporate and registry steps.
