Changing a company’s registered office, step by step

Changing a registered office may be straightforward or require an amendment to the memorandum of association and a notarial deed. The key factors are how the current registered office is stated in the founding document and whether you are moving to a different municipality or simply changing the address within the same one. Below is a practical guide for an s.r.o. in 2026.

1. Prepare the documents for the new registered office

Before filing, provide proof of the company’s right to use the address as its registered office. If you use one of our addresses, we prepare the required documents under the agreed service.

• The property owner’s consent to use the address as a registered office, normally with an officially certified signature if you use this form of proof.
• Property and ownership details, which can be checked in the Land Register. Additional documentation may be needed depending on the filing method and how you prove the right of use.
• The company’s current founding document to check whether the memorandum of association also needs to be amended.

If you are interested in a registered offices in Prague, we can first check whether the address suits your business.

2. Make the decision required by the memorandum of association

Moving within the same municipality

If the memorandum of association lists only the municipality, such as Prague, and the new address is in the same municipality, the founding document may not need to be amended. The managing director normally changes the specific address within the limits of their authority.

Moving to another municipality or amending the founding document

If the memorandum of association needs to be amended, for example because it states a specific address or the company is moving to Prague from another municipality, the competent company body makes the decision. An amendment to the founding document requires a notarial deed. Check voting requirements under the law and the memorandum of association.

In a single-shareholder company, the sole shareholder decides in place of the general meeting. A joint-stock company or another legal form may follow a different procedure.

3. Register the new address in the Commercial Register

The company must apply to amend its entry without undue delay. Attach documents proving the change, such as consent to use the registered office, the relevant decision and, where applicable, the updated founding document.

In 2026, the fee for a court-registered amendment is CZK 2,000. If the legal conditions for direct registration by a notary are met, the registration fee is CZK 1,000 and the notary’s fee is paid separately. We confirm our fee for preparation and representation before you order, based on the circumstances.

4. Check related records and documents

After the new address is registered, update details on invoices, the website and terms of business, and with banks and business partners. Check any obligations to the Trade Licensing Office, the tax authority and employment-related institutions. Some authorities share information automatically, so notification obligations and deadlines depend on the company’s circumstances.

• Update your company details for customers and suppliers.
• Check how mail will be accepted and delivered at the new address.
• Update contact details with banks and other contractual counterparties.
