Change of seat / domicile
We are happy to support you in adapting your company address. Here it is important to note where the change is taking place. Depending on where the new address is located, the process of such a change varies. The following three variants are possible:
- Same political municipality: In this case, the change of address can be carried out without a notarial certification.
- Same canton: In this case, a notarisation may be required, which means that the process takes a little more time. You can find more information on this under "Procedure Service".
- Other canton: In this case, a notarisation and certification of the signature of the person who signed the application may be required. You can find more information on this under "Service procedure".
Furthermore, it should also be noted:
- The registration of a c/o address is possible in all cases. However, additional documents might be required.
- The letterbox at your new address should already be correctly labelled with the company name, as the Trade Register Office checks the accessibility of the new address.
- P.O. Box addresses are not permitted.

FAQ about seat / domicile
Here you will find the four most important questions about change of seat / domicile. Answers to other topics can be found in our FAQs of the Commercial Register.
The processing of a change in the commercial register depends on various factors. The type of change requested, the time it takes to obtain all the necessary signatures and the workload of the commercial register office all play a role. As a rule, simple orders without certification can be published in the commercial register within two weeks of the order being submitted. Orders with certification take about three weeks to be completed.
Our system adopts the changes from the commercial register and automatically updates the details of the companies and persons. This takes place one day after the publication of the changes.
Our service includes the preparation of all documents, the administrative processing of the changes with the commercial register as well as all consultations necessary for the implementation of the changes. Should a public certification by a notary be necessary for the implementation of the changes, this is also included in our service. In the registration of a liquidation, the publication of the three debt calls is also included.
No, we only make changes to the data from the cantonal commercial register.
