Change in Name or Address of Partners in an LLP – Apramada
In a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), the details of each partner—including their name and address—are officially recorded with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). If there’s any change in these details due to legal updates, personal changes, or documentation errors, it’s mandatory to update the same with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through proper filings.
At Apramada, we provide full legal and compliance support to update the name or address of any designated or ordinary partner in your LLP—quickly, correctly, and in full accordance with the LLP Act, 2008.
When Should You Update Partner Details in an LLP?
You must notify the ROC if:
- A partner changes their legal name (due to marriage, legal correction, etc.)
- There’s an update in their residential address
- A discrepancy in records needs to be corrected
- A partner relocates permanently to a different city or state
It is crucial to keep the MCA records accurate, as these details are publicly available and are used in all legal and compliance matters involving the LLP.
Legal Process for Updating Partner Name or Address
The process to update a partner’s name or address in an LLP includes the following steps:
1. Obtain Supporting Documents
- Collect valid documents that support the name or address change (e.g., marriage certificate, affidavit, utility bill, Aadhaar, etc.).
2. Board Resolution
- Although not always mandatory, it’s advisable to document the change formally via a resolution for internal records.
3. File Form 4 with the ROC
- Submit Form LLP-4 to the Registrar of Companies within 30 days of the change. This form must be digitally signed and include the supporting documents.
4. Update LLP Agreement (if needed)
- If the LLP Agreement contains the personal details of partners, a supplementary agreement may be drafted and filed using Form 3.
Documents Required
- Identity and address proof (old and new)
- Legal proof of name change (if applicable)
- Utility bill or rent agreement (for address change)
- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of designated partner
- Passport-sized photo (in some cases)
- Board resolution or partner consent (recommended)
