LLP Intimation of Other Address for Service of Documents

File Form 12 to Declare an Address Other Than the Registered Office for Service

An LLP can choose to declare an address, other than its registered office, at which documents may be served on it. This is done by filing Form 12 with the Registrar. It is useful where the LLP would prefer official documents to be delivered to a location different from the registered office, such as an administrative or professional office, while the registered office remains unchanged.

Our Form 12 services handle the intimation of an alternate address for the service of documents quickly and correctly. This is distinct from changing the registered office itself, which is handled through our change in address of LLP service and the notice for change of place of office in Form 15, all within our LLP compliance services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Form 12 for an LLP?

Form 12 is used by an LLP to intimate to the Registrar an address, other than its registered office, at which documents may be served on the LLP. It allows official communication to be directed to an alternate address without changing the registered office itself.

What is an ‘other address for service of documents’?

It is an additional address, distinct from the registered office, that an LLP nominates for the delivery of documents served on it. Declaring such an address gives the LLP flexibility in where it receives official correspondence while its registered office remains as recorded.

How is Form 12 different from changing the registered office?

Filing Form 12 only adds an alternate address for the service of documents; it does not change the registered office. Changing the registered office itself is a separate process carried out through Form 15, which updates the LLP’s official registered address.

When would an LLP file Form 12?

An LLP would file Form 12 when it wants official documents to be served at a location different from its registered office, for example at an administrative or professional office, while keeping the registered office unchanged. It is a matter of convenience in receiving correspondence.

Is filing Form 12 mandatory?

Filing Form 12 is not mandatory; it is an option an LLP can use if it wishes to nominate an alternate address for the service of documents. Where an LLP is content to receive all documents at its registered office, filing Form 12 is not necessary.
