Company Address Change

Every commercial company in Bulgaria is required to have a registered management address in the Commercial Register. This address is important for correspondence with state authorities, service of documents, and NRA inspections.

When is an address change necessary?

A change of management address is necessary when relocating the office, upon expiry of a lease agreement, reorganisation of operations, or when moving to a different city. The address may be changed at any time by a General Meeting resolution.

It is important to know that the management address determines the local competence of the tax administration. Changing the city may also change the territorial NRA directorate serving your company.

What follows after the change?

After registering the new address in the Commercial Register, you need to notify your servicing bank and the local NRA directorate. The VIES system is updated automatically within a few days after registration.

Timeline

The address change procedure is relatively quick — document preparation takes 1–2 business days, and registration in the Commercial Register is completed within 5 business days. When changing between different cities, it may take slightly longer to notify all institutions.

Required documents

  • General Meeting resolution
  • Updated articles of association
  • Declarations under Art. 13, para. 4 of the Commercial Register Act
  • Power of attorney (if a lawyer is authorised)
  • State fee

Frequently asked questions

Is a document for use of the new address required?
Currently, the law does not require attaching a lease agreement or title deed when registering a new address in the Commercial Register. It is sufficient for the address to be specified in the updated articles of association. However, during an NRA inspection, you may be asked to provide proof of your right to use the address.
Does an address change affect the VAT registration?
An address change does not affect the company's VAT registration. The VAT identification number remains the same. The VIES system is updated automatically after registration in the Commercial Register, usually within 3–5 days.
Can the address be a residential property?
Yes, there is no legal prohibition on the management address being a residential property. Many companies, especially newly established ones, use a home address. However, it is important to ensure that correspondence is actually received at this address, as uncollected mail can lead to problems with the tax administration.
