What if my company's address changes?
Your company should always keep its address current with its registered agent. This means you should update your company’s registered agent when your company’s address changes. To contact your company’s registered agent and provide the information, see Who is my company's registered agent?
Updating your Clerky address book
You should also update your Clerky address book when your startup’s address changes. This ensures that the right address will be pre-filled into legal paperwork you complete on Clerky. Be aware that updating your Clerky address book won't update any other services or organizations (such as your registered agent), so you'll need to update them separately. You can find your Clerky address book by clicking on your account name in the main navigation bar and selecting Address Book.
State Requirements
Delaware
Delaware simply requires a company to keep its address current with its Delaware registered agent. Each year, the company will also provide its current address when filing its Delaware annual report, which is due by March 1st.
California
A Delaware corporation qualified to do business in California must file a Statement of Information on Form SI-550 to update its address with the California Secretary of State.
Online filing is available here. Simply search for the company’s name, select it from the results and then click on the “Continue Filing” button. Be sure to list the correct corporate registered agent (see above).
Note: If you recently filed a Statement of Information online, the "Continue Filing" button will not be available and you must instead file a physical copy of the "Statement of Information - Stock" form, which is available from the Forms section of the California Secretary of State web site.
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
FinCEN requires that reporting companies keep their information accurate. If you submitted a BOI report to FinCEN and your address or any other reported information changes, that generally means you’ll need to submit an updated report within 30 days of the change. You can learn more about what might trigger the need for an updated report on the FinCEN website. You can also check out our help center articles about BOI reports:
