Business registration agencies are not allowed to request enterprises, business households, cooperatives, cooperative unions, and cooperative groups to register changes in address information due to changes in administrative boundaries.
Enterprises, business households, cooperatives, cooperative unions, and cooperative groups update information about their addresses due to changes in administrative boundaries on the Business Registration Certificate, Business Household Registration Certificate, etc. when needed or at the same time when registering changes or notifying changes to other contents.
In short, businesses are not required to change information on the Business Registration Certificate but can do so as needed.
Instructions for procedures to change business address when merging provinces and cities
According to Article 28 of the Enterprise Law 2020, the head office address of an enterprise is one of the information shown on the Enterprise Registration Certificate. In which, Clause 1, Article 20 of the Enterprise Law 2020 stipulates: "An enterprise must register with the business registration authority when changing the contents of the Enterprise Registration Certificate as prescribed in Article 28 of this Law".
Thus, when there is a change in administrative boundaries that changes the head office address, the enterprise must carry out procedures to update and supplement information in the business registration dossier according to the provisions of Article 63 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP as follows:
