In a nutshell

The quick answer.

What is it?

A Statement of Change of Principal Address filed with the Secretary of State, faster and cheaper than a full Articles of Amendment.

Who needs it?

Any LLC, Corporation, or LP that has moved its principal office or wants the state record to match reality.

Why does it matter?

State records, bank verification, lender diligence, and IRS notices all rely on the principal address being current. Out-of-date records create deliverability and compliance issues.

When to act?

Within 30 to 60 days of the move in most states, sooner if banks or lenders are checking the record.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need this or a full Amendment?

If the ONLY change is the principal office address, this filing is faster and cheaper. If you are also changing name, registered agent, or governance, file an Amendment instead.

How fast does it process?

3 to 10 business days standard. Most states accept it electronically.

What about my registered agent address?

RA address is a separate filing (Change of Registered Agent / Office). We can bundle both if needed.

What does it cost?

$149 one-time or $299 with Compliance Subscription, plus state filing fee.

Does my bank or lender need to be notified separately?

Yes. The state record is one of several places your address lives. We can produce a Good Standing certificate showing the updated address for bank verification.

Mailing vs physical address?

Some states distinguish. We surface the rules per state and ask only what your state actually requires.

PO box allowed?

Some states allow PO box for principal address, most do not. We flag this before submission.

Same as IRS Form 8822-B?

No, that updates IRS records. State filing updates state records. Both may be needed.

Will this affect my EIN?

No, EIN remains the same regardless of address change.
