Minutes for the transfer of the registered office
The transfer of the registered office is the change of the company's official address. It may result from a relocation, a consolidation of activities or a change of domiciliation. Depending on the company form and the statuts (articles of association), the decision is made by the gerant, the president or the meeting of the associes (partners). This document records the transfer decision, the new address and the corresponding amendment of the statuts. It must then be published in a legal announcements journal and filed on the guichet unique (single window, INPI) to update the Kbis extract. This form is in English, but the document is generated in French, ready to sign and use in France.
Note: the questionnaire is in English; the generated document is in French.

Frequently asked questions
Who decides on the transfer of the registered office?
It depends on the form and the statuts (articles of association). In a SARL, the gerant may decide alone on the transfer within the same department or a neighboring department, subject to ratification by the associes (partners). In a SAS, the statuts freely set the competent body. In a SCI, it is generally the body of associes.
What formalities apply after the minutes?
You must publish a transfer notice in a legal announcements journal (one or two notices depending on whether the transfer changes jurisdiction), update the statuts (articles of association), then file the amendment application on the guichet unique (single window) of the INPI. A new Kbis extract mentioning the new address is then issued.
Must one or two legal announcement notices be published?
If the new office is located in the same department, a single notice is enough. If the transfer is to another department, two notices are in principle required: one in the department of departure and one in the department of arrival.
Can the office be domiciled at the director's home?
Yes, domiciliation at the legal representative's home is possible, without a time limit if no contractual provision or lease clause opposes it. Otherwise, it is limited to five years. You can also use an approved domiciliation company.
